Hello! The fellow with the black/red strpe Corvette also has a red/black interior. Maybe it's not the red stripe. but the shade. there are a million shades of red, and I never thought this one went well on the black corvette.
Here's a link to see it- it's a GS tribute Vette:

I didnt mean to bum you out, but sometimes you get a picture in your mind that is very different from how it turns out. And in this case it costs a bit of money.
I wanted to see how my polo green vert would look with a white stripe, so i used Plasti dip. I like how it came out, so I might just end up buying a vinyl stripe to apply to my hood.
I wish you all the best. I'm sure it will turn out great!
