Put stripes on the car...

Flat black over black to make them subtle. Partly patterned after the Ron Fellows car.

Let me know what you think, don't pull any punches.

Re: Put stripes on the car...

I could do without the Z06 sinage in the back, but I like the stries... They are subtle, unique, and very Ron Fellows.

I like it. Very nice and subtle. Not gaudy or loud.

Re: Put stripes on the car...

I like it! Very subtle and understated, but still very noticeable. Nice job!

Re: Put stripes on the car...

hey, thanks for the opinions everyone. I like the ones on the fenders, but i'm not totally sold on the ones over the hood/roof/hatch. I might take those guys off next week.

Pauln64, Velocity Yellow is a NOTICEABLE color, so maybe more stand-outish stripes are in order? Yellow and white would probably look kind of calm/tame, yellow and black looks really bold. Red?

Re: Put stripes on the car...

I love the ones on the fender. Looks hot! I tend to agree with your feeling about the ones on roof and hood.

I was considering fender stripes on my C5 Z as well.

I have a yellow 03 and was pondering maybe a shade of dark blue for the fender stripes. Any opinions. Its hard for me to envision this. Thks

Re: Put stripes on the car...

blue and yellow look great in U of Michigan football helments... Maybe the best way to get an idea of how colors go together is googling up football jerseys. some team or other must have every combo known to man.

Thinking about stripes too now, yours look good. One problem, Atomic Orange with stripes might look somewhat over kill.....
