I'm looking for ideas, my black on black needs some spice. I searched and couldn't find anything. So far I'm thinking about a torch red stinger

I always liked this pics of one of the Corvette Challenge cars from a few years ago. Not a Z, but red stinger, red mirrors, and red spoiler. Don't know why it's got stage 3 wicker bill, but no stage 2 side extensions. Like the splash of gray on the side too.

For me, a black Corvette is a statement of sleekness and lack of contrasting colors. The best add ons I've seen are the stealth (shark gray) ghost stripes or the stealth flat Jake hood stinger.

I can't find it now, but there was a Z on this board that had a wide stripe in front of the doors. It wasn't a black car , may have been silver

My tint guy did a “Jake” for me in black reflective. As I have Gold/bronze accents the Jake reflects gold at certain angles otherwise looks satin black against the gloss hood. Subtle but striking.

I considered getting a red version of this jake (top pic) on the passenger side of my black Z06 (bottom pic). Decided against it, although it would have only cost $280 installed. I love this jake sticker... it kicks so much *** that some prolly don't see that the car is white in front and black in back.

Yes, the stripes look killer in person and really make the car stand out. I got them from Vette Stripes.
