Default Stinger Hood Stripe?

Decided I need to add a carbon flash hood stinger stripe on my '19 Grand Sport vert... several suppliers and a wide range of prices...who's had good results/bad results with what supplier? Any recommendations? I painted my last one but I think I'll get the decal for this one...

I purchased OEM from a dealer on Ebay. I had it professionally installed and it is great.

I got mine from PhoenixGraphix.com for $99 and installed it myself. Very easy to do using the wet method as far as aligning on hood. Still looks new after two years.

I'd go with OEM or Vettestripes.com as you want to get material that matches your hood louvers and other OEM Carbon-Flash components on your C7 as close as possible. From the abundance of threads here on the subject they both match well.

Bought the OEM one. A bit of research and did it myself last winter. Was pretty easy and quality is great

This is a really timely thread. Pictures of various stinger strips would be really neat. I have a Yellow GS and have been thinking about a stinger strip. there are lots of creative folks on the forum and so pics of creative strips would be entertaining and helpful

thanks

I bought mine from a forum member, that never put it on (obviously). He bought it from Vettestripes.com Quality was great and install was pretty easy, after watching youtube videos and following instructions. It's been two years and it still looks great (no fade, shifting or rips)

any pics with the Jake on the stinger? Going with the high gloss carbon flash I think, maybe with the Jake as well...
Phoenix Graphix seemsa the lowest price, Vette Stripes and OEM seem most popular choices...

Another satisfied vettestripes customer here. I also blacked out the chrome strip on the grill.

looks better with the blacked out chrome grille strip I think...


on my Z51 last year I painted the stinger and spoiler myself actually, but I think I'll go with the decal this year on my Grand Sport

had the OEM hood stripe when bought new, but I installed the roof stripe
myself with 3M vinyl bought on Amazon.

Added roof stripe to extend stinger - CorvetteForum - Chevrolet Corvette Forum Discussion

Singer, roof, and halo bar stripe. I don't have this car anymore but still think it was the best look of the C7's I've owned!
