I think it looks nice, but personally I'm not a big fan of the full stripes. I like how the stinger stripe looks -- blends in with the hood vents, which works in my opinion. I went with the stinger stripe.

To me it depends on the combo. I have a 13 ZR1 60th anniversary and I really like that look. When I get a Z next year( 2016 model ) I plan on Torch Red with the light silver stripes. The Cyber gray stripes look good on black as well I think.

I like them in certain color combos..... obviously, I've got them on the 60th Anniv 427...

If I were doing a C7 Z06 it would be in LB with the full length blade silver stripes

I do not have a Z06 but when I ordered my Z51 I ordered the stripes because without either the full length stripes or stinger stripe I thought the looks were kind of dull. My opinion and have the flame jacked on.

I'm a big fan of the stripes. I think it gives the vette some youth.
