Similar, yes, except instead of the side bolsters, I'd do the seat centers and I'd also two-tone the arm rest. Might also do matching leather on the shift and e-brake boots.

This is what we did to our 2008 Z06. Thought it was just enough to give Machine Silver a punch!

The Z looks bad a$$ striped. Just because they don't come from the factory striped doesn't mean they don't look good that way. Adds a lot to an otherwise plain paint job. JMHO.

Ive never really seen stripes on a vette and don't know if theres a reason for that. Anyone have pictures of something similar ?

Thanks in Advance

To stripe or not to?

I've got a silver '08 Z06 that I want to stripe with the ME3 style black. There are some nice looking vettes here, did you install them yourself and if so, was it a real pain? I just had a shop quote me 300 for installation which sounds a bit pricey - I can probably do it myself but would like some opinions before I risk ruining a set of stripes! I'm also looking for the sticky back raised logo "427" I want 2 for the hood. I think there were 2 of you here with those, where did you get them from?

Here is the style I'm looking at...

Sorry...none of these really look good...decals here and there are the most I think the C6 is capable of pulling off.

IMO that blue car didn't need a RED stripe, at all. That's the style I'm looking at but mine is silver. Silver and Black will be a much better color combination. It needs some contrast.
