Only the Z06 came with the stripes - all the coupes and 'verts were just LeMans blue. I know of a few Z's that had their stripes removed by the dealer before delivery, but as far as I've ever heard, all the carbon fiber hoods had the stripes.

Oh, and I added the stripes to my coupe below... it was all blue when I got it.

Yes and No. If you are talking about any '04 Vettes, then the answer is YES. But if you are talking about the Z06 only then the answer is NO. The stripes and the LeMans Blue paint were part of the Commemorative Edition verson of the Z06. The non-Z06 coupes/convertibles in the Comm Edition came in the LeMans Blue but without stripes.
