Default Ghost stripes for the C7

I have seen a number of stripes floating around, but no real subtle ghost effects as of yet....something very subtle that doesn't take over the car's looks...?

I think you will be hard pressed to find any in the short term as ghost or phantom stripes require painting which is permanent. Most won't be willing to do that to their new Stingrays as it's not easily reversable and it's also very costly unlike the typical stripes we are seeing which are made out of vinyl.

Check with one of those companies that do vehicle wraps. There is some nice stuff out there. I had one company give me a quote of $350 to duplicate the stripe that the factory charges $950 for. He said they are good for 10 years and are removable. Painting is the best way but then you gotta clear coat over it. I think the wrap people do it on computer and then print it all out and stick it on. Worth a look anyway.

I would like to see those. I really like ghost flames, but I don't think I have seen ghost stripes.

That is blue, right? Do those match the carbon flash vents, etc..?

NRB with cyber gray strips. Vents, mirrors and spoiler are carbon flash. Strips were installed at factory, in fact, our car was the first one produced with factory installed strips.

Beautiful. I may just have to add some CG stripes to my NRB Z51 3LT Kalahari coupe.
