I like the stripes, as long as you keep the mirrors black it fits really well.

also what wheels are those. they fit the sunoco hood VERY well and i was looking for an alternative to z06s that every sunoco hood owner seems to buy.

at any rate. car looks damn good man!!

edit: more pics?

I'm biased. I had the 1st one and put stripes on it. My car is on the VFN site. I like the stripes.
