Full Body Length Stripe
Been thinking about putting a full body length racing strip on my 2013 GS Coupe. Of course the 60th Anniversary Corvette had them factory installed but I believe you could order them for other models in 2013. Maybe as a dealer option. Question is, has anyone added the full length stripe to their C-6 and if so where'd did you buy it? GM? Another source? and did you put it on or have some else to it? Any insight is appreciated.

GM did sell full length stripes for the C6 corvette. Part number 22783846 is for the Pear white full length stripes for the GS. I believe they were also available in color Black, and Blue.
Before you buy any stripes, I suggest you contact local vendors who can apply stripes. Stripes may be wet application, or dry application. Most installers today seem to be comfortable with the dry installation. Also the quality of the stripe material varies by vendor.
The stripes at vette stripes may be a wet application and many installers may or may not prefer to work with that quality and application technique.
I would suggest that you talk to a qualified installer before the purchase.

The owner went through a lengthy trial and error process to arrive at just the right width and end details on his stripes.
And in case you're wondering, it's not a Z06 badge on the fender. If I recall correctly, he had custom badges that said "N06".

I bought mine at Vettestripes and installed them myself. They have the full length for all the models. The only thing that might cause an issue is if you had the extended length spoiler.

Had mine done by my local graphic shop, all done by hand, no precut.
As you can see I even had them go over the glass top, it looked incomplete otherwise.

I wanted some similar to the 60th anniversary stripes. But I couldn't see spending upwards of 400$ for a set. I ordered vinyl roll and made my own templates. Cut them out and installed them myself. Took some time , but in the end, I was happy.
