To Stripe, or NOT to Stripe...
I just got my 2017 Grand Sport 2LT. I was looking at LBR for a long time... and I really thought that I might get the Carbon Flash Grand Sport Center Stripe (Hood Stinger, Roof, and back). However, when it was said and done I went with no stripe. Below is the result. and to be honest I REALLY REALLY like all that LBR!. Yet, there is a part of me that wonders if I should get the stripes from someplace like vettestripes.com where I can get Carbon Flash Metallic black (3M 1080).
Does anyone have a picture of a LBR Grand Sport with a Carbon Flash Grand Sport Center Stripe? Any thoughts about adding a stripe? I plan on having Xpel Ultimate and Opticoat Pro Plus put OVER the stripes.

Don't have a picture but your car is beautiful without any stripes. Stripes In my opinion look good on Camaro SS but terrible on Corvettes! Enjoy that sweet ride!

I love my stinger stripe roof and halo wrap. Not the color or GS you asked for but here is mine.... I can't imagine it looking anything but great on your GS

A set of stripes on your car would look very good IMO. But, there is also nothing wrong with the way it looks now. It is a beautiful car.

I realize my car is gray, but the color is a medium dark shade like yours, and I think it would look great. It's subtle, and not outlandish. Plus the Carbon Flash has some red sparklies along with other colors.

Interesting that this thread popped up today. A friend of mine just today had that Jake stinger applied to his new Z06 and I went down to take a look. Now I'm considering adding perhaps a carbon fiber-look stinger to my Laguna Blue Z51 to match the exposed c/f roof panel.

Be sure to show some pics when you get yours done...

I vote no, your car is already beautiful, don't muck it up. Especially don't put the cartoonish Jake logo on it.

We like the way it looks. More importantly, you like the way it looks. As the saying goes, "You know how to keep an erection....don't f___ with it!"
