Default custom Dick Harrell stripe...NEW PICS!!!

No too many custom Dick Harrell stripes out there so I did one...I'm happy with the result but I just wanted to get some feedback on it...the stripe was done by hand its all PPG paint with the 2008 ZO6 Bluestream...no stickers or decals

The car has been done for about a month but I haven't taken any "real" pictures of the car yet...been enjoying it too much...so this is what I have for now

NEW PICS!!!









Race look with ZR1 staggered fitment - 17x9.5 17x11 with 315's







Cruser look with FORGED 2 piece Asanti's - 20x8.5 20x10 with 285's

cool, but why "high octane" is that a company name or something? Well done, but I would have done something more with the checkered flags, maybe have them more angled and wavy? Not saying that would have been easy, just saying the flags on there look a little plain, otherwise they are just checkered boxes.

high octane is my club name...the reason I did the flags that way is b/c: (1) it would have been too difficult to keep them lined-up with the letters and the flag (2) it also would have clashed with the stripe...it just would not have looked good...my goal for the car was to be stealthy and simple but with little edge...and that was the blue stripe

btw...thanks for the approvals fellas
