Awesome interior, engine/bay, great color, great detailing....stripes make it confusing and jumbled...in my opinion.

Since you asked, stripes on the side and back are not my thing, the rest looks Great.

I agree with the rest, the "stripes" on the outside are not something I would do.

The under hood looks very nice, IMO.

Under hood is beautiful. Wheel barrels and rotor caps look great. Rear spoiler, lightning bolts, etc, not so much.
But, if it pleases you...

It looks great. I like the whole package. Nice color match on the barrels and that style spoiler looks really good. I'm guessing it does well in car shows.

Just a hair too busy for my liking, but FWIW i've always been a stock kinda guy.

Everything looks done nicely though.

Fabulous looking ride. But as some have mentioned the stripes only take away from the lines of that beauty just as they do on the front fenders of the GS's.....good luck.

Like all but the stripes. Looks like a few birds ate Mexican and let loose over the car.

I sure hope you don't remove those graphics. The tribal flames are a nice touch throughout the vette and the theme would not be complete without the exterior display. It's tough to add graphics to the side of a C6 but I think they look excellent.

Whoever came up with the design, has an artistic eye.
