Perfect, noting the second roof in the comments.

Did they put the stripe on your clear roof? Factory ones have the stripe on it. Not sure I'd want it on or not, but if the clear roof came from the dealer it may not have it.

No, no stripe, though if anyone has a pic of what that looks like (in and out), I'd love to see it. Put the clear top on today for the first time - definitely enjoying it

It's discussed in this thread regarding the last car built (#940). There are others that have it, it was just the first time I had noticed it. If you read through the thread I asked for some pictures from the inside to see what it looked like.

Thanks - I think I like it without the stripe :-)

Yea, I think I would be that way too. Nice thing is that it is a decal, so you could just remove it. Seems a little odd, but for the CE the full length satin black stripe was a "signature" unique option, so I think they just put it on for that reason. That said, if you do order a full length stripe on a car with a clear roof, they will put it on....

UPS dropped this off on Friday. Not a perfect copy, but pretty close and was only $13.99.

I just got mine today from the same source, shipped quickly, good quality for that size model I think. Just disregard the Z06 stamped on the bottom :-) Still waiting for my large scale one....hopefully that comes some day.

Yeah me too, just hope the 1/18 scale is a little closer than the original pics. Mainly the taillight being Z06 clear is what I recall being incorrect. If not maybe we can disassemble and replace with others on the market.

Quick question - do any of you have the center front lower air deflector installed from the factory/dealer on your car? My Z51 did not have it, and my understanding was no car is supposed to have it except for the base stingrays, but mine has it. It wouldn't surprise me if the dealer I got it from mistakenly installed it (they forgot to install the side skirts and front splitter - they don't do many Vettes). It's part #26 on the following diagram: https://www.cultragfactoryparts.com/...nts-front-scat and it's a long, rectangular piece between the two other air deflectors in front of the tires. Thanks!
