If it is a Z16, How come it doesn't have the CE/Z06 stripes? Did the PO removed them?

I also have no stripes after fresh paint. Last time I checked I was told that they were being DISCONTINUED and passed on a complete set from a dealer for $700. There is a aftermarket set that you can find online around $350. that is close to the originals but does not have the words carbon fiber on the hood portion of the stripe, I may get a set later on. When I got my Z16 both front wheels had bad curb rash so I got a set of polished replacements from Bob @ House of wheels about a year ago for $250. each. They are still boxed up for now, my plans were to repair the originals and play around with a painted/polished color scheme using the base color of the Z16 since the polished are clear coated anyways. Pic from Dirty 30 post of the Z16 he just got.

Yep, after the C5 Z06 my C6 felt too much like a boulevard cruiser and I went back to the 2004 C5 Z06 too. The Z06 gives me a thrill every time I drive it. The only thing I miss about the C6 are the heated seats for my back. Welcome back!
