Default Stripes..Help!

Hi everyone! I am thinking of adding full body strips to my 2014 Cyber Grey convertible. I have a black top and 3LT Kalahari interior. I believe that the only color that I would like would be the Carbon Flash (Black Metallic). I am, however, a visual learner and cannot make a decision based on photos of cars with colors other than Cyber Grey with black stripes. Does anyone have pictures of a Cyber Grey with black full body stripes? If there are any folks that can photo shop a picture with those colors it would be greatly appreciated.

Have you considered silver strips? I don't have a picture, but saw a grey with full (front to back) silver strips and it looked good! And I'm not a grey/silver fan.

I personally have an AW Stingray but did a search and found a few pics. These two pics may help ya out. I personally like the one with silver stripes better. But I'm also a fan of no stripes so my opinion may be null.

Thanks, I think I kinda like the black stripe. With a black stripe I'm not adding another color, I already have three colors with the top and interior.

With the Cyber grey, black top and Kalahari interior I think adding another color to the mix might be to much for me. With that said, I kind of like the orange stripes, looks, snazzy!

I'm with you on the black stripes with black top, another thing you didn't mention is what you had for wheels. 2 colors on outside and 1 on inside is enough going on so it doesn't get busy.

I have the wheels that come with the Z51 option. I can't remember what they're called, they are not black or chrome.

Silver stripes would look really good on the car.

I bought mine from a Chevrolet Dealer.
They are a GM kit made to go around the emblems & corvette letters on the rear.
Retail is $900 & I paid $765 with Corvette Club of Michigan discount.
