Default Building my Z06 online, what's the Carbon Stinger hood option?

I'm building my Z06 online and I'm curious about the carbon options. I'm going all black with carbon firbe. I like the black stinger stripe, but I know you can get it done in carbon fibre instead. What option is that? Because all I can see is the carbon fibre hood weave insert? Or am I missing something. Thanks! Jordan

Cf hood weave is 2k. Normal carbon flash is 500.

Only difference is the look... Exposed carbon fiber vs carbon flash.

Hope this helps

But is that option for just the small weave/vent insert? Or the full stinger stripe, that's what has me a bit confused...

Not sure if this would help, actually probably not. Just re read your post. Sorry.

That's her! When they said weave insert I was picturing the vent being done in carbon fibre, and the 2K option wasn't worth it for that. Thanks!

Yup. That's what I was talking about. Cheers.

The carbon flash stinger is a vinyl decal and cost $500, which is what I have. The carbon fiber weave insert/stinger is actually the exposed carbon fiber hood that is finished and cost $2,000 (pictured in post 5).

Or you can get a Jake skull decal on the stinger. If I knew how the heck to put a picture of it on here I would.. I'm sure someone can though. I'm thinking about replacing my carbon flash decal with a Jake skull..

The Jake decal usually goes on top of the stinger. You typically see both.

That's what someone else had said. Ithe just doesn't make sense because anytime I have seen the Jake skull I could see the color of the car around it. I'm pretty sure you get one or the other. So 3 options.
1. Exposed carbon fiber
2. Carbon flash decal
3. Jake skull

All Jake images are decals that are designed to let the color of the singer hood show thru. i.e. if your stinger hood is still the color of your car like yellow then you see a yellow Jake.
