Default C7 Stripes??

Just ordered a Night Race Blue C7 Coupe with Blade Silver stripes. Saw one on ebay and knocked my socks off(see pics). I know it is my car and I should get what I want, but just wanted to know your opinions.

Our new rides are very similar. I also got the chrome wheels, 3LT and gray interior. The dark blue, chrome, gray and silver are stunning.

I'm not a stripes guy but if I were I think that's the color I'd get on night race blue for sure. Glad that you like it, congrats on the new ride!

NRB with grey interior is pure class. While not a big fan of stripes, with this combo, I think it adds rather than subtracts from the classy look. Good choice.

I like it but, I think I would like it better with Ciber Grey stripes. From a distance, and in some photos, the silver stripes look white. I also think the CG would better blend with your grey interior. IMHO, obviously the silver has already been done and, CG would make yours a touch more unique. However, sounds like you have already placed your order, so the "die is cast".

I love the combo!! The only thing I would change is the chrome wheels to alloy to match the stripes better. I think that would cause my jaw to drop from my ankles to the floor. lol. Congrats on the order!

Very very nice. I wonder how the same stripes would look on a NRB vert with a Gray top? I'm trying to get my buddy to buy one.
