Default 2008 racing strip

Hi
I have a 2008 base with 2LT, Z51, NPP and it has a Black and gray racing strip on the hood, roof and hatch, My question since I'm the second owner is this factory or aftermarket?

I'm on my second 2008 and I've never seen one with stripes. Of course that doesn't mean they don't come that way as an option.

I'm no expert but I'd guess the stripe is an aftermarket add-on.

<< (see avatar) This was the only factory stripe (hood only) that came on the '08 as I recall (Wil Cooksey / Crystal Red LE. 427 / Z44).

GM does offer several different racing stripes in their line of accessories.

Without a photo, impossible to determe if GM or aftermarket.

My 2008 came with GCA stripping from the factory. It was part of the package that came with 15 spoke wheels, matching rear spoiler and mesh screens on the front; side and in between the exhaust pipes.

Considered that one but couldn't recall if it was introduced in '08 or '09. You are correct
