i'm a big fan of the "ghost" stripes/decals.. love the subtlety of cosmetic mods like those... looks great.. it was the reason i went with the oem "Jake" Stinger on my car.. saw one at Carlisle on a Yellow C7Z and thought how awesome a stinger that's more than a stinger but blends in 99% of the time..

So essentially I would have to pay someone to remove something that I paid them to put on.

This is pretty much the definition of a certain level of Corvette enthusiasm.

I love the stripe. I think it makes the car stand out.

This happened before when I paid a tuner to remove my aftermarket FBO parts, to take my previously owned 2009 Nissan GT-R to stock, so I could more easily sell it. I did manage to recoup around 2/3 the cost of the parts when I resold them.

You probably made out pretty well there.

I would do the carbon flash stinger, I think it looks great especially with the CF mirrors.

Is that the Sunrise orange? Painted on? That's what I was thinking--something custom painted on and clear-coated. May I ask how much you paid?

(Looks great !)
