You needn't be scared to bring or buy a vette from this dealership. The GS was purchased from the Seattle Auto Show. The stripes were factory installed.

No stripe guy.....
The GS came from the Seattle Auto Show that way.

This dealership actually sees many corvettes and we actually had the one of the first 5 for the Grands Sports dropped in Washington dropped off here.

Can't control what the factory does.
I guess its a good thing for us.

Update. I went by the dealership today to get some new brake rotors for my C6. They are aware that the stripes are on backwards and they have another set to put on it. They don't want to put the new ones on because it came from the factory this way. If it did indeed come from the factory that way, wouldn't the car in some 20 years be worth more, kind of like a dollar bill with a big printing mistake? I think that what should be good would be to see if there is a photo with the car and the stripes at the Seattle Auto Show with the car this way.

I'm starting to like my cars lack of stripes.
I saw a vidio on youtube that showed the dealer(still shots) putting the stripes on a GS they have an overlay that sits on the fender to show where the stripes belong, so how could they put them on wrong.
