Default Recommendations for stripe kits.

Statefarm decided to repaint the whole front of my car instead of spot fixing the hood from a rock that rolled over it. Thinking about having them do a white stripe kit like the Commemorative edition Zs had. Any recommendations? This is for the Vert not the Z.

I bought the twin race stripes with pin stripes on the outside of the main stripes like on the C6 race stripe page in white for my black C5 from vettestripes.com. Took quite a few hours to get them put on, but it was well worth it. They are already cut to shape and cut around the emblems. Highly recommend this site. I believe his name is Mike who will reply by email very quickly.

I am bored with two plain electron blue cars. I like the stripes on EB and I figure it will be nice to be a little different on the Vert. Nice thing about stripes is they come off way easier than they go on.

How about a more subtle effect, like blue on blue with a contrasting pinstripe.

Ok, how about a modified version of the Camaro stripes you uploaded?

So they will fit on the Corvette properly. I don't think 'typical' rally stripes going under the front bumper enhance the look of a C5 or 6

I disagree, I think if this vehicle was Electron Blue and the stripes were on the filler plate too it would look VERY good.

Even my wife said she liked this look better and she usually has no opinion.
