Mine is even more subtle. (I was considering something like this but instead bought a non-striped car out of dealer stock.)

I do like it, though.

If you don't mind me asking, where did you get the stripes, and how much did they run you?

I ordered the car as you see it from the factory. The stripes were an option from Chevy. I forget how much they were... I think you can order them from any dealer.

OP, that is a great effect. I'm not much of a stripes guy, but the C7 looks good with them. I believe that the first thing that draws you in when you look at a car is the paint - I didn't want a high-contrast stripe to be screaming at me when I walked up to mine. So I ordered the cyber grey (RPO code DTN) on my NRB '15 - that was a $950 factory option back then. In some lighting situations, the stripes are very subtle, just what I wanted.

Stripes on a C7, to me, all look like cr#%! However.......

But I love a flat black stinger on any C7!

In general I'm not a fan of stripes, but this presents very well and adds to the look of the car...

And in some lighting, it's anything but subtle...

On my way home from a Sunday drive...

I also have a Carbon Flash Hood Stinger on WGG and most people don't even notice. But I prefer the subtle look
