Thin red, white and blue stripes....
Does anyone have a picture of those thin red, white and blue stripes GM offered a while back on the special edition C7's? There were 2 versions, the Pacific version and the Arctic White version with those triple thin full length stripes. I'm buying an Arctic White GS and I want to add after market full length stripes but I don't want the really wide ones. I'd like something more subtle. I searched the forum but couldn't find any. Any pictures would be most appreciated.

I like these stripes but I can't find them on the GM configuration tool. Are they still available on the 2017's?

Sorry, but that cheapens the look of the car by several $k. I'm all for red white and blue, but not as stripes on a car. Way too busy, but my opinion though is probably not relevant as I don't like any stickers on cars.

My buddy just bought one of these in a convertible....interesting, that stripe is a $900 option. When we went to pick up the car though, we found it was put on crooked on the top side of the hood. The dealer is having to replace it. He wasnt very hot on the stripe before we got to the dealer, but when he saw it was a $900 option, he decided to keep it on!

Contact subchev, trunk monkey parts. Look for them selling parts in the parts section. Each section of stripe is a different part number.There are 8 separate decals if I remember correctly. They put together the complete package. I purchased mine a year ago for about $900. I would recommend professional installation. Love the look .

A decal package for 950 bucks?! That's a bit ridiculous... you can have a vinyl wrap shop do it for a third or half of the cost. Great example of the corvette tax here..... I had my stinger stripe, roof and halo wrapped for only $300.

I agree.....
And if I do decide to get any kind of striping it will be done at a local custom paint shop or wrap shop. I think I may just do a simple, subtle full length torch red stripe on my Arctic White GS.

Not wild about that particular stripe, but I would bet a sign shop could replicate it for a fraction of the OEM cost.

I'm not a big fan of that stripe as it makes the C7 front logo look like an arrow tip the way it connects. I imagine it would only look good on Arctic White vs. other colors. Also, the cost is crazy stupid high, even for GM.
