I'm a fan of the stinger stripes. I had them on my 2021 Stingray. I received a lot of compliments. The color will accent your brake rotors. Ultimately its your car and choice. Best of luck with your decision!

I like the stripe idea but don’t like the thin stripe with some red in it.

I like it but I think it would look even better with the full stripes….it's kind of like when you see people with one little random tattoo, get sleeved or just don't do it…

Kidding aside, it looks better with the stringer than without it….

I beg to differ…they tend to look plain and common without them...

I bought my Z06 off the lot and it came with them. I'm still a bit undecided.

I'd say if you have to ask strangers, you already know the answer.

I am very happy with the stripes on my HTC Stingray. I have one question for those of you that have them... Is it OK to apply ceramic coating on top of the stripe?
