Default What do you think of these 2 designs?

Yes...I am at it again. I did it with my '07 convertible and am doing it again with my Z. I'm looking for input from my corvette brethren on two stripe designs I am contemplating doing this spring. The purists will likely call it sacrilege, while others may find it interesting or maybe even like it. Like some of you I am looking for something that is different and sets my car apart from others in a unique, yet tasteful manner. I don't lay claim to either design idea as I've seen them on other Z's; one a forum member that has design #1(I don't recall his name), the other on a Z I've seen on YouTube with design #2. I've simply added some very cheapish looking text to both stripes...but you get the idea. Oh, and I've also added in what colored Wheel Bands would look like as well.

Let me know what you think!

I don't care for either, but #1 is less ugly to me.

What I think *could* look good is something on the halo.

It's great quality to be creative. That's very cool that you are. However, leave the car alone. That looks about as tacky as those dodges with all the black tape all over them.

The first one but without the black stripe. Is this a real big block 427?

If I was going to add a decal to the side, I would place it on the rocker panel.

Neither. Bottom door stripes look good on 4 door cars, not corvettes. And if you are going to go with an emblem, go with a factory one.

There is a difference between making your car unique and making it down right tacky.....

Neither. ...It looks way to busy which ends up making your beautiful car look cheap.

If it were mines, I would leave it just the way it is "Bone stock". You have a nice looking Z06

maybe get the GM 427 badge they put on the 427 convertibles. You can get two of them for less than $100.

and I would put them on the hood, forget the stipe. Again, that's my opinion, you have to do what you like, not what I like.
