Default 88 options?

The car I just bought has red stripes on the valve covers and also on the top of the TPI unit.Is this factory?The car also has woodgrain on the interior(plastics,looks like mac-tac).The woodgrain has all the directions and arrows for the controls printed on it so I don't think it is a total home job but maybe an aftermarket kit.What do you think?

I have had the woodgrain kit from MAM vette for about 3 years. Im sick of it. Im going to yank it out and paint my dash peices with DuPont chroma base and chroma clear black.

There is no red stripping option under the hood.

definatly no underhood pin striping available for the C4. i personally cannot stand the look of wood grain dash plates. the kits are pretty pricey though.
