My issue is I wish they were more like decals. They are like a vinyl wrap material which is thicker and has some orangepeal on the stripes.

But overall, I like them and would do it again. Its a matter of taste.

With the popularity of torch red I wanted my C8 to standout from the crowd. Plus it was a nice accent for the silver rims.

I like stripes on Corvettes, but not sure I really like the dual stripes available for the C8. Perhaps as I see more on the road, I may change my mind.

I never regretted ordering them on mine. The Carbon Flash stipes has the same metalflake as my wheels and trim. It all matches and completes the package.

I like them on the C8. At the end of the day, it's your Corvette....look at picture combos and decide for yourself.

I'm on the fence on whether I like them or not. I think they fit the muscle car more than the new exotic style of the C8. I ended up passing on the stripes in mine. Again, this is just my opinion which shouldn't have any bearing on your $85k car.

I have a SGM HTC with silver stripes. Love it. As convertible, only 140 in this color. With stripes, more than likely, only 6 or 8 made. This thing is not like a belly button.
