Default Stinger stripe on AW

Has anybody ordered a AW with the stinger stripe by chance? I have seen one Photoshopped photo of a AW with the stinger stripe and I think it looks really good, changes the look of the car imo. I'm undecided if I should order the GM stripe for over $500 or go to a local vinyl shop and have one made there. Thanks guys

If the stinger stripe is in fact vinyl and not paint like the C6 Grand Sport stripes (unlikely). I doubt if it would cost over $100 for a graphics shop to make one up. And you could get it in any color you want... It is, after all, just a big rectangle.

Now the racing stripes are a different deal as it looks like the factory stripe goes under all the badges (hard to tell if true from pictures, though).

ATOMICV8, I see you picked your car up from the museum. I would love to see pics of the AW with the stinger stripe if you have any

I will try to get some pics up of the car this wk. Daughter took a lot of pics but she went in one direction with camera and wife and I in another. I was really blown away by how the car looked in person, first time seeing one in person. The AW just seems to work so well with all the black features on the car. I know color is subjective but AW looks so good on this car.

My car is a AW/Red 1LT, NPP, Auto

I ordered a aftermarket stinger stripe from VetteFX here on the forum. I'm thinking about having the roof painted carbon flash to match the rest of the black on the car.

Thoughts?......

Just a thought.. has anyone looked at the rear bumper of an AW C7 and thought "I kind of see a large Jake skull... minus the 'teeth'"...?

Don't paint it, just wrap it. You can do it with a gloss black metallic wrap. It looks very similar to gm carbon flash.
