Default Racing Stripe Option

I didn't see one on the ordering guide, but remember that yellow mule which had a silver stripe? Does anyone know if the stripe option will be given?

I would post pics of the said mule as an example but I'm not sure how to embed or attach pics - so second question - does anyone know how I can attach pics?

Second question - To attach files/pics you need to be a Gold or Silver member. You can link to pics hosted on other sites (like Photobucket (free)). There is a tutorial in the Help forum on how to link to Photobucket photos.

First I think this is the image you were referring to



Second when responding or posting new you must be in advanced or click on Post Reply in Blue. Go to the image you want to post. It must be on the internet or an online photo storage sight and right click on the image and select "Copy Image URL" then click on the yellow icon that looks like a mountain and the sun. Past the link and this is what it should look like

You do not need to be a Gold or Silver Member to post a picture but you need to be Gold or Silver if you want to attach an item like a PDF or spreadsheet if you want other people to be able to download that item.

Default Racing stripe

At the Bash it was stated that they would be offering a stinger stripe for the hood and also a full length stripe (like we see on the yellow car).

I expect the hood "stinger" would be from the vent louvers in the hood back to the windshield in Carbon Flash Metallic to match the hood vent louvers.

Accessories like these tend to come a little later on, right now the main focus is getting production up and running.

I hadn't seen that... Silver racing stripes would be pretty bad@ss IMO. I bet that would look gorgeous on crystal red or laguna blue.

I like the matte black hood stripe that is on some of the 427 C6 Vettes.

I assumed the stripes on the yellow one was some bored GM tester grabbing a set from this year's anniversary edition. They look identical to me

Now that I know the racing stripe option will be offered, I feel I'm back to the drawing board again in trying to determine which colour to get, now while coordinating with various stripes, just when I finally thought I had it figured out lol

There likely won't be but two or three colors on the stripe kits available and count on one of them being black. Black will go with anything.

I'm planning to add a black stripe to my car when they become available. The car is going to be torch red and with the accented black vents it will just tie more of it together.

I was never a fan of stripes until I added the GCA stripes to my Precision red '05 coupe and now I'm hooked.

I was really hoping they would save the stripes for the special edition cars and the Camaros. The C7 looks just fine w/o - imho
