Default ACS Composite Aero added and stinger poll

Hello everyone. I am debating whether I should add the carbon flash stinger stripe on the hood above grill. I have started a poll as I am split. I plan to keep the mirrors, roof, and z51 spoiler body color. I just installed the ACS front splitter and side skirts, splash guards and OEM Z06 grill. See before after pictures. Suntek ultra will be going on in a couple weeks.

With the carbon flash side skirts, front spoiler and black wheels I think the stinger stripe would look good. It's easy enough to remove if you end up not liking it.

It would be permanent since I am installing PPF film on the hood

I would leave it red since the top and spoiler are the same body color. If they were black, I would do the stripe.

Some ideas to consider as you begin the FUN of adding mods. Your ride should please and make you feel good. Good Luck!

Subtle black accents look good, but if you go too far it makes the car look like a person with tattoos all over their body.
It just clutters up the look

I think the stinger would look good. I was planning on doing a stinger in Carbon Fiber or Carbon Flash, but since I ended up with WGG, I don't think you'd really even notice it.
I was looking for a used Laguna Blue or Yellow and the stinger would have looked nice on either of those colors. I think it will contrast with the red very well.

I think it would look great in carbon flash with the new add ons. I'm all for customization and these seem to be subtle and ties into a theme

Red is one of the colors where a carbon flash stinger looks great, but the thread is 5 months old

I would leave it alone you have it looking good as is, the stripe will distract from the clean look.

I think the stinger stripe would look very good on your car. I voted to go for it.
