Not my thing but looks like a good job, your car is clean. Why are the stripe on the opposite side of the car in your sig? is the image flipped or did you have them on that side before?

No can do...my moldings were put on before the door was painted. If i take them off, it'll ruin the paint.

now u need some black zr1s

Looks good, but the passenger side would have to go. As for the Corvette only thing what's your motive for that? Looks or heritage?

Not heritage b/c niether my car nor I have any connection to the GS vette's...hence the passenger side stripes. Therefore, just for looks (as all decals are)

i'll agree, best left to the corvettes. BUT, i think if done correct with a good color combo, the stripes can set off the car nicely. I love the way mine look because in the sunlight, the stripes are barely visible against the white paint. goes well with the polished wheels, clear signals, chrome halos and debadging...if you like them, stay with them!
