Default Carbon Flash vs. Satin Black dual racing stripe

Anyone have photos of carbon flash vs. satin black full length dual racing stripes? I’m not sure which I want to order on my 2019 Sebring Orange vette. Thanks, ~Juliet

The carbon flash will match the rest of the carbon flash parts on the car...The satin finish vinyl may not like wax on it. So I vote for CF...But I did build one on the configurator with orange stripes??

I couldn’t get it to show the stripes, which is why I asked! I was wondering if the satin was more of a matte finish which might look cool. But I hear ya about matching the CF trim... decisions....

Juliet ....not sure if this will help you ......I am looking forward to seeing the orange myself in daylight .... I am thinking my wife needs an orange stingray convertible with lots of carbon flash to go with my Z06

As goofy as many might think it is, I just do not know.....Found this car on internet by "accident" one night and it made me buy it sight unseen....had that GM 10% off tag and some other discount
Car is at its winter home in mother in laws TN house garage (hoping she does not hit it this winter) while I am freezing in Chicago so I do not have sticker

It is factory installed as far as I know as it was brand new on dealer floor... I have continued to add painted carbon flash pieces from ACS and they match perfect
hope this helps

Thanks...that is why I am thinking I need to see in person before I buy my wife one
I am sure she needs a convertible ....maybe she would trade in her car so we would have room for one!

I didn't like the pearl pigments or medal flakes in the orange.. It wasn't a true orange color.

JMO, but I think the Carbon Flash stripes would look the best.

So it looks like the carbon flash stripes are shiny. Do they take wax and stuff well? Thanks for posting photos! I appreciate it.

I went Carbon Flash on mine to match Carbon Flash mirrors. (Stinger hood ) I have used sealants and waxes on stripe with no problems . I apply by hand on and up close to stripes thinking polisher pad could damage stripe. I used sealant first then waxed to build up along edge of stripe.

I have the Satin stripes and appreciate the contrast it has with the gloss metallic paint elsewhere.
