In order to get the GS stripe you then are required to get the heritage package.
Is the GS stripe just a decal front and back?
Can you order these after the fact and put them on?
Seems like you must be able to save some money here?
Comments on after market quality?
Thanks.
Ehh, maybe I'm just cheap, but I saved a few bucks by having the dealer (MacMulkin) do the stripe installation. I couldn't see paying for the Heritage Package ($700) that essentially is just a set of floor mats and the small hash on the grab bar so that I could have the factory add the fender hashes and center stripe.
Dealer?? No!! Have you read what most dealers do to Corvettes? They ruin them! Unless they are one of the few respected dealers, like the forum sponsors, be careful.

Remember the GS stripe also includes a paint matched hood vent ...

Just went back to build site as I thought this could be an issue, but building a 2018 admiral blue the hood vent comes black with/without the gs stripe.
If I were going to get the fender strips would have them painted to match my Adrenaline Red Interior!
Would do what was done with my Street Rod flames:
1) after masking, spray black,
2) when dry use 1/8 inch tape on the forward edge of both strips,
3) then spray the Adrenaline Red (leaves a 1/8" black pin stripe.)

Correct, and if the dealer does screws them up, easy enough to peel them off and start over at their expense. Not so easy if painted!
Decals are a good option as opposed to paint, very easy to remove if you get tired of them or replace if damaged.
Sure, many may consider "paint" the correct way (as I kinda do), but I doubt if (1) in (50) admiring the car would notice the different or even care for that matter.

A lot of talk about hash marks, but when I said gs stripe I meant the stripe on the hood up to the vent, then on rear to the spoiler.
When you order that you then have to get the heritage package which includes the hash stripes for a "mere" $795!
Also odd is the full racing stripe is $50 less than the gs stripe??

GS vert stripe?
Zora's original Grand Sport Vettes did NOT have fender strips! They had racing numbers but some no strips at all!
