Default My new Vettestripes.com stripes

I have four other members in my Corvette Club that have a C5 that looked just like mine. I am not much of a stripes guy but I was tired of walking up to the wrong car trying to open it.LOL
I decided to add some stripes from vettestripes.com.

Nice job! However I find it hard to believe you run with four guys who also own Torch Red C5 convertibles with red interiors. I have never even seen one in person.

Your car looks great both before and after.

I admit the interior colors are different but I have walk up to them after a club meeting with the tops up and wasnt paying attention.

THAT's AWESOME!!!!!!

I just can't help myself......That is an amazing car! Your interior and exterior REALLY PULL THAT CAR WAY BEYOND NORMAL!
I'm waiting to pull the trigger myself..... but I think that style is EXACTLY what I want on my Artic white.

not one for stripes and i think the GS stripes in addition to the others are a bit much but the stripes on the hood and trunk are cool!

Well, I must say the stripes look great. I just don't know how you were able to line them up, get all the small bubbles out, not to mention the fender stripes. Good job. Let me know how you did it.

Careful measuring and they are applied wet. It is not a job for someone without experience.
