Default Back in the Saddle...

After a 6 year hiatus, I have once again joined the ranks of vette owners with a 2004 Commerative Convertible.



I have to tell you that 6 years is about 8 too many to be without a vette....

Excellent choice! Beautiful car! And, I'm not biased at all!

Question guys as I don't remember. Were the CE stripes only on the Z06, or were they like the Pace Cars and offered as either installed or in a "take with you package" on all CE cars?

i have already looked into it and it appears you can get the stripe package look-alike from vettestripes.com which appears to have good reviews on the forum.... probably the next purchase...
