just bought o7 pace car replica but car has no body graphics has all other badging. window sticker says it was included, Vin # matches pace car edition ?

 

Removed by original owner most likely, due to them becoming damaged or otherwise holding up poorly. If you want them, you can buy them- but if it's that important I'd have them painted on professionally and clear coated.

 

lets see it!....I don't even remember what color they were so I Googled it... is it this?

with the bumps behind the headrests and the euro lights......

Im not a graphics kinda guy but it IS a Indy Pace car.....and if any vette deserves graphics....it is legit....

 

I like these very much.
nearly bought one about 2 years ago.

great color, decked out with all goodies like z51, 3lt, color matched spoiler, handles, interior parts.
they also had unique colored split spoke wheels before they got standard option (different color though) in 2008!

the picture above is close but the lights in the vert cover may have been on the actual pace car but not at the car one could buy. same is for the euro tail lights, regular tail lights were on the production version.

there are many reasons (appearance, maintenance, cleaning, preserving) for people to take off the elaborate graphic design for regular driving.
I'm quite sure that you could order them with the stripes in the trunk and/or they may have been a dealer install item anyways (although I doubt that).

the one that I was looking at 2 years ag had the striping pack non installed but came with it.

personally I like the pace car big time, if you want the stripes i'm sure you find them sooner or later on ebay or this forums "for sale" block or somewhere.

plenty reference pictures here:

I have an '07 pace car with all the graphics. I don't think I would have bought it without them. It makes the car standout. I purchased it about a year and a half ago with the intention of showing it. I have done about 9 shows and took home 6 trophys including 2, 2nd best in show or as my buddy says, first loser
You can purchase the decals here, http://parts.nalleygmc.com/showAssem...ssembly=404687
But they are not cheap. I've also done a lot of visual mods to the engine and interior, but only mods that are reversible because of the nature of the car. I keep all original parts. Good luck with yours.

 

thanks for the info, I think if it had all the stripes and logo on door I would not have purchased it, like it better this way

 

yes true but I think it is to much like it this way. Can post pictures when it comes out of the bag in a few wks thanks

 

yes it is but doesn't have the extra lights

 

thanks for the info, maybe someday, I like it without the stripes

 

Ok, to each his own. The way I understood your original post, it sounded like you wanted to restore it to original

 

 

 

sorry to confuse you, I thought the graphics were painted under the clear coat so I was trying to figure out how they were removed or not put on thanks again. maybe some day I will put them on now that I know they are only decals

 

Wouldn't that have been nice, that would have been a lot cleaner and custom looking. It probably would have cost more for the initial purchase and added value to the car if it came custom from the factory like that, IMO. Anyway good luck with it.

 

thanks again been good talking with you. as this is my first corvette I have a lot to learn!! have had 66 chevell 69 Camaro but at this time in my life I can buy a corvette and always wanted one since they changed the headlights talk soon

 

The way I understand it, it it was not a festival car, the graphics were shipped with the car and the dearler would install them, but the owner could request that they not be installed and simply come with the car. So it could be that they were never installed and the original owner may have them.
