About the available stripes...

I like the stinger, but not sure if I would have ordered it or not....wasn't given the option when ordering so I'll have to wait to see what the aftermarket does and decide then after I have some time with the car to evaluate. I definitely don't like the full length style.

Stinger stripe for sure. I hate those double "boy racer" stripes. I do like the look of the stinger stripe tying in with the vent. That said, I would not order either simply because they are tape and look like azz IMO. If I wanted the stripes, they would be painted by a good shop and clear coated and done right.

Of the two, I prefer the "stinger" although I love the dual stripes on the last edition C6 as well as on that "other" domestic sports car. I'd like to see the dual stripes on various other colors / wheels before ruling them out totally.

Another vote for the stinger stripe.

I prefer the stinger stripes. I think it ties in nicely with the hood vents and looks really nice with certain colors. My next choice would be no stripes....
I like the stripes on the C6 but I'm not so sure of the C7's.

It's too bad they don't offer a clear carbon option for the stinger hood to go with the clear carbon roof option. Kind of like the aftermarket C6 hoods did. Now that is a factory option that would work for me.

Just be patient, it'll probably be offered later in the C7 model run. If the visible CF roof is $1995 the hood will probably be $1495 or $1695.

so if I understand it,
It seems the overwhelming majority of you that prefer stripes in general like the Stinger option best, thanks for weighing in

I like a black car with a flat black stinger stripe and thin red pin stripes around the stinger. But I like it painted not a stickers. Black on black ZL1 looks amazing. The Vett will look insanely mean.

I like the matte black stripes or the 3M 1080 Black carbon fiber, with a red stripe around it to match the calipers. I agree that painted stripes look better, but being that I actually do vinyl striping for a living, one of the nice things about the vinyl is you can change it every now and again to totally change the look of the car and for resale value I would stick with vinyl because you may limit the number of potential buyers that don't care for stripes at all if they are permanent....

I had one black vette.... best looking car ever after the wash....unfortunately attracts the appearance of dirt like a magnet....felt like I had to wash it every day....the wheels would probably be worst offender
