Default Now you see it, now you don't.

Watkins Glen Gray Exterior, Jet Black Interior, Carbon Flash Hash Marks and Carbon Flash Full Length Stripe



This has to be my most favorite combination of the year (as long as you forgive the reflections on the hood). To the person who wants the Grand Sport Heritage Package but does not want "in your face" colors, these Carbon Flash stripes on Watkins Glen Gray exterior are as subtle as it gets.

First you see them, then you don't. Tasteful elegance, that reminds me of the almost ghosted striping on a 2012 Centennial Edition. This combination proofs the old adage that less is more.





To get the full information on this car, see the window sticker here.

I knew the carbon flash strips/ center stinger stripes would be the best combo for the grand sport.

way better than any of the other "extreme" examples I've seen like the red, white, and blue scheme

I appreciate the more 'loud' color combinations, but for me, the subtle nature of this one is beautifully sophisticated.

Full disclosure; I dig ghost striping as well.

Less is more would lead me to no stripes, but this isn't too bad for hash marks.

That's exactly my preferences too.
However, some like the whole body stripe(s) n hash stripes on the fenders.
Still, a good looking WGG new C7!

Naw, not for me. A nice car I am sure but with a dotted white stripe it would look like another piece of asphalt.
