I have been pinstriping hotrods, motorcycles and cars for over twenty years. I would never touch a Corvette. No, god no.

I saw this one and really liked it. I had stripes on my C5. Great way to personalize your car.

Not my car, but you can see some pics of a C7 that had pinstriping done. Looks old school.

The talent is definitely there, but it looks out of place on a Corvette.

If YOU want pinstripes, checks, or polka-dots... GO for it! I would recommend if you do, try it first in vinyl tape to be sure you like it. Then, have a pro do it in paint. All the best, and despite all the comments here, do post pix if you go this route.
