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.

I've always consider a stinger on past orders but for one reason or another never did. That is until I ordered my 2019. I'm glad I got it as I think it compliments the rest of the black accents with red body. You should get one too!

I am definitely going to get a carbon flash hood stinger on my '19 Shadow Gray as soon as the State lets business open up.

I think the stripe adds a nice contrast on lighter colors like my blade silver.

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.

IMO, like so many other things you can do to your Corvette, this really is a personal preference. So, for me it is a no for mine, but I think it looks great on the Corvettes of those that have decided that they like them and they definitely stand out.

Mine without a stinger

A great one with the stinger

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.

Looks easy but I will have the tint guy do it. The hardest part seems getting the hood vent off.

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.
