Default Retro Strobe Stipes

Saw this picture on the Corvette Fever website, and I really liked the retro stripe. I want to say I've seen something similar, but I can't find anything on Google. Anyone else have pics of something similar?

Are those stripes painted, or did you get some custom vinyl decals made?

Dean, you must have a very famous car. It's doing a celebrity endorsement for side pipe covers on ebay!

The car just might be related to the creator of the shields.

That is interesting they not only copy my design shields but they show my car with my Steel Shields with out my permission, But remember the shields shown in the add are chrome plated shields that will scratch and possibly peel over time.

For a little more you can buy plain & simple mirror polished stainless steel steel shields, available at reputable suppliers like Mid America, Ecklers and Corvette Central. They won't peel and if scratched can be easily buffed back to mirror finished.

Or you can order the steel shields like the ones on my car that look plain but the top has the laser cut Corvette script.

Don't worry. I wouldn't put chrome shields on my stanless pipes.
