Default GM Full Racing Stripe 2

At the end of C6 run for 9 years, GM released one of the best looking stripes called GM full length racing stripe. I then have enhanced them by adding the 1/4" pin stripes to the outside of them to give them more classy look and the outcome is more than what I have expected! Welcome to one of the best looking stripes for C6 Corvettes: GM full length racing 2 stripes.
Enjoy some of the pictures from my customer Z06 (metallic dark charcoal stripes on black Z06)!









Enjoy!

Yes, they are full length racing stripe so they will cover the whole C6.

Premask is masking tape on top of your stripes. There are couple purposes of the premask. One is to hold all pieces of stripes together in correct placement and another one to prevent scratching the stripes if using hard squeezes.
Most body shops are using hard, beat-up squeezes and try to get the job done as fast as possible. Therefore, without the premask, they will ruin and scratch the stripes.
However, many vette owners would not let anyone touches their vettes and it would be easier to install the stripes without masking so I give an option to order stripes without masking.
The installation is wet application so you just squeeze all the water out so there will be no bubble after installation.

I understand the process.Can you tell me what kind of squeegees are being used now, or do you provide one with the kit? furthermore are the stripes all separate pieces,i.e. right and left,or is this one big stripe without a space in the middle? They look great especially breaking up the tail end,just a little hard to figure how they are made,which = ease of installation. thanks Wm

Here is my general instruction which I show you where to get the squeeze.
The stripes will be separated by front nose, hood, roof, etc ... But all those pieces are together with correct spacings.
