For the 2017 GS Collector edition - Apparently, there are very few changes ("options") that can be made to the GS Collector edition; so, does anyone know if the Collector edition can be ordered with GT Seats rather than the Competition Seats (shown in most of the pix)?

Currently, the plan is to start painting panels in the new shop at the beginning of the 2018 model year with only the new for 2018 colors being painted in the new shop initially with a transition of all colors from the old shop to the new show through the model year.

Can someone PLEASE give me the RPO code for ordering the Grand Sport Carbon Flash (CF) Center Stripe. The Build your own site shows this stripe but NO RPO code.
The 2017 order guide only shows the CF Hood Stinger Stripe with code DTW and
also the CF Full Length Dual Racing Stripe with RPO code DTH.
We want the CF Center Stripe for our GS and need to know the RPO code. Our dealer's order guide does NOT show this Center stripe (He is checking on this discrepancy also, but we want confirmation from a knowledgeable Forum member whether the CF Center stripe even exists as shown in the Chevrolet Aug. 2016 Build your own site. See attached pix of stripe we are talking about. PLEASE HELP;

Per the 2017 Order Guide
DTW is just the CF stripe on the hood only.
DNE is listed on the order guide as the full length "Satin Black" Stripe.
If you watch the
My guess is that their is only one full Length single stripe, option DNE, though I'm not sure if it's Satin Black or Carbon Flash. I'd try and find a car with the option and have a look at it.

Actually, I tried to look this for you and found some conflicting info:

Can a contributing Forum dealer please shed light into this. We definitely want to get this Carbon flash GS Center stripe. Need the EPO code for this stripe. The full length stripe is just Too Much for our taste. Hope someone can help

Did you think of calling them, PM'ing or emailing any of them?
Don't know how you would expect any of the forum dealers to be watching all the threads!

Yeah, this is what I thought initially. But, it seems to be the case with all cars with red leather.

His rapid response showed me why Kerbeck is such a successful Forum Dealer.
Thanks Mike again for your response

jmoses -- Here's some new pics of my WGG GS, which is being acquired through Rick Conti (http://www.CorvetteConti.com).
It is a 3LT with plain nickel wheels and red interior. Red stitching is viewable on the steering wheel
Car is over at Esoteric Detail ( http://www.esotericdetail.com) in Columbus Ohio to get Suntek'd (I swear by the plastic clear bra!! ), coated, and probably tinted over this next week. (I swear by the plastic clear bra!!! I had it on my 09 CyberZ06). I would have already had the car, but were it not for Rick lobbing some nukes at GM over the missing Level 2 Aero skirts, I might STILL be waiting on getting the skirts! Good man, Rick!
I hope to start driving it next Saturday!

STINGRAY70A - Your GS looks great!! I have been back & forth trying to decide between WGG and AB; but either way, I love the red interior with both exterior colors.... Thanks for the pix!!
