Adding Tape Stripes, Annyone do it?
Has anyone added Factory tape stripes to their Z51 Coupe after delivery? Should have ordered, but, too late now.
I have a dealer quote & am curious about the cost.

Yes I did. And the cost was about $300.00 cheaper then the order option,so I had the windows tinted at the same time.

I am talking about the full length stripes not the Stinger one.
Am checking out several local Body Shops about install if I buy the Kit which is $900 from GM. Around $800 with a club discount,

I purchased my car off the showroom floor. Since it did not have stripes I had them added and it absolutely changed the whole personality of the car. Couldn't be more happy. Dealership charged $1,100 which was a very good price. Probably because the Z51 I purchased stickered at $76,000 and obviously had every option available.

Looks terrific!
My Dealer wants $1350. They have a contractor do the install.

And most likely you'll get a better price from one of those vendors.

Z51 emblem is correct
I did not ask for it or expect it but I sure am very pleased with how it looks. VERY DISTINCTIVE!!!

Actually I had them put them on for me. I purchased it separately. Not just for the Z51 emblem itself. It offered an additional "splash" of red to accent the interior and red calipers.

One side note here with the dealer installed dual stripes, the flags on front and back as well as "corvette" on rear are positioned perfectly in cutouts, which makes them standout real well.

Even with a 25% discount the price is outrageous!

The flags and lettering were not removed. The stripes from GM came already mold cut to match up perfectly with the flags and lettering perfectly centered. It looks terrific!

You need to find a new dealer, the rear bumper DOES NOT have to come off at all, all of them just come off with fishing line and Goo gone.
