I think they look so much better with them as they do with the Vipers. My concern is the quality - how will they last. It would be better (quite a bit more $) that they were painted in.

I saw a blade silver, chrome wheels with CRM stripes over the weekend. I wish I had been able to get a picture of it. That car "popped"

Do my photos answer your question? I have had MULTIPLE people photograph my C7, which I have only had for a week. I love it!

I think the stripes on the C7 are a great addition to the car. Really sets it off.

I built my BS coupe on line with the red racing stripes but I ordered the 3LT AR interior and red calipers and didn't feel the crystal red would be bright enough so left them off the order.

So far I like the car without stripes but if I add them later I'll probably use some closer to Torch Red.

According to a popular Corvette production numbers book, of the 37,xxx Stingrays produced in 2014, there were 820 units ordered with the one of the five different color dual full-length racing stripe options.

While I think C7s of all colors look great with or without the dual full-length racing stripe option, surely there are more such optioned C7s on this forum. So, let's see some more photos of Stingrays with the dual full-length racing stripe option.
