Just wondering what the general consensus is with the C7 community about putting a black vinyl carbon flash hood stripe on my C7. I have a 2016 Laguna blue coupe with the carbon flash mirrors, spoiler, emblems and black wheels. I am torn between stripe or no stripe. The boss, my wife, prefers no stripe.
The carbon "flash" is nothing more than black metal flake of sorts - don't look too much like carbon fiber. I has some work done to my car and they removed the carbon flash an said owed it to me and would put it back on if I wanted it. I decided to go with something that looked snazzier and got a carbon fiber look from 3M and added a Z51 to it:
Just picked up my 2016 shark gray Z51 with carbon flash mirrors, badges, spoiler & black rims, getting ready to order the stinger stripe. Was looking at the ones on vettestripes.com , anyone ordered from there ? Any forum member discount ?
They're not stickers. They are part of the stripe. IIRC I got this from VetteFXs. I was trying to match the Z51 I have on my steering wheel (from Greg over at AutoDynamics West):

My opinion on cosmetics always tends to be, "It's a Corvette. You don't have to do stuff to make it look cool." So I would be with your wife, whose opinion probably is a lot more important to you than mine would be.
Your call, however. I'm not a big fan of telling people exactly what they must do.
I have the carbon flash stripes on my 15 I think it adds to the look of the car. They are pricey though. When I had to replace the decal stripes on my 08 I had them painted on for almost the same price
