Default Stinger Stripes Anyone?

I’m thinking about adding the Carbon Flash/Midnight Silver stinger stripes to my ‘21 coupe order. It would be just the right amount of “bling” for me.

The car will be Torch Red , spectra gray trident wheels, bright red calipers, Adrenaline Red 2 tone seats, perf. Exhaust, 2LT, GT2 seats, non-Z51 mag ride, Edge Red engine cover, front lift

Any comments on how the stinger stripes look?

For my eye, the stinger stripes and or the hash stripes are far better than the full length ones that make car look (again to me) like a '60 boy racer.

My 2¢

Personally I would not put anything "stick on" on a vehicle not even factory crap. If you want to check out stripes done right take a look at my Gen 5 Viper, painted and under clear coat

I think you should do what you want and not poll strangers on the internet about what you should do. If you like, then do it. Simple.

You're gonna hear a bunch of people telling you things like it's your car, do what you want. There is nothing wrong with getting other peoples opinion. Obviously at the end of the day it's up to you but you know that. I actually like it. I hadn't looked at those before but it does add a little "bling" without being in your face.

Those stripes really do nothing for that particular car.

Looks good, especially with the two-tone seat look going on on the inside. Sort of like a two-tone theme inside carried to the outside. And you can always remove them later if you change your mind.

That's The same stinger stripes on my build. Problem is not seeing it live and in person. When my car comes in I will be able to decide if I like it and if not peel them off. My car is the metallic gray however.

OK how about the same story on my ACR?

My point is I don't care for any stick on stripes, painted under clear coat is a different critter.

This shows the beauty of the stick-on stripes...they can be removed easily.

Sorry, I respect that car (both of them), but neither of those stripes look good...JMO of course.

That is a sweet garage though (or whatever that is)!

Actually, if you are adding a stripe to the car, I'd opt for those. They are subtle, and on the red car, w/ that interior, look like they belong there.

I think the stinger stripes are absolutely fantastic! They accentuate the shape of the hood, perfectly fit the overall body feel of the car, and add just the right amount of jet to this beauty. Personally the full stripes scream racer boy wannabe and the look is tired and dated. I'm all over the stingers!

I ordered the same stinger stripes on my Torch Red C8 that is being built this week. I am not a huge fan of stripes but I wanted to have a different look than a couple of other local Torch Red C8'S. Can't wait to see them in person. I think it adds the right touch if you do not want any bold striping on the car. Who knows when I will receive my car with the shutdown but I will post pictures of the stripes when I get the car.
