I love the stinger stripe, I adore the Jake Stinger. Both would look phenomenal on your car in my opinion.I think it accentuates the hood scoop. Carbon Flash Metallic would look great on your car.
Mike at Vettestripes was professional, knowledgeable and kind to deal with when I got some things from him. I'd definitely purchase from him again without question.
Please post photos of whatever you decide to do.

Searched and found similar threads but that were dated. Trying to decide if I want to add the stinger hood stripe to my 2019 shadow gray GS. Was going to go with the Vettestripes 3M carbon flash stinger. Not interested in painting it in the event I would ever want to remove it. Thoughts, comments, recommendations would be appreciated

Go for it. The stinger stripe looks great on a C7.

Not a Stripe Fan.Till I saw this on lot 5hrs. from home.It was worth the drive.
Gonna put a GM Jake right on top of the stripes in the stinger.Haven't seen it Dun yet
Could be a 1 of 1 If it stays out of the trash can.

Decided to go with the carbon flash hood stinger from Vettestripes. Thanks for the great pics and keep them coming.

I also have been trying to decide which stripe to go with. Not a huge fan of full stripes but they do look good on certain colors. I do like the carbon flash hood stripe with the stingray logo. Nice to see many different pictures of them. It helps when deciding on which one to go with. Good luck with your decision.

Lots of good experience myself and others who have used Vettestripes. I have put stripes on my previous 13 Grand Sport and factory strips on my 16 Z-51

I find stripes visually noisy, but the car's design can support a stripe without looking corny.
