Looks like we will be selling our pristine Torch Red/Oak 2000 C5 Convertible (49K miles!/Always garage kept), for a new 2019 C7 Convertible 2LT, Arctic White/Red Interior, Spice Red Top.
Thinking of the Full Length Dual Stripes, Crystal Red. I like the stripes but is this addition a bit too "hokey". I've got to live with the choice for a long time.
Comments (Thanks, Bob)
(I did a search but didn't find anything about stripes...)
I have a black 17 Z51 with Crystal Red full length stripes. At first I wasn't too sure but now I think they do add something. I had trouble with mine peeling up on the rear bumper. It was covered under warranty.

It is strictly personal choice. It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. You have the option. Choose what you like.
P.S. I do not understand these threads. I have never met a Corvette I didn't like.

When I ordered my Corvette, the guy told me they made a guy put down a nonrefundable $10,000 deposit on his order. It seems he ordered torch red with everything in the interior as red as it could be, red calipers, red outlined wheels... red, red, RED. I wonder if that one looks good (or not)...

All that matters is if the buyer liked it. I don't blame the dealer, though.
Of all the colors to get stripes with, I think white is the best. You get sort of a "negative contrast" where most other cars would be red with white stripes, you will have the opposite. I think it will look great!

Not a Stripe Fan...Till i saw this on a Lot about 5 hrs away...Come to Papa..
Ahh,The Waterfall
Factory installed.Guess you could remove them if not happy.I like the stealth look.Especially in the Shade.
Photo's really bring out the stripes more.If you were to see the WGG with CF Stripes you would almost have to look for them.Lighting with the Metallic's changes so much
Yep, Stripes are now into the build. I've never seen a C7 with stripes over this way (mid-Gulf/FL) so I was wondering if this option is something that is simply not done. You all solved that mystery.
Arctic White/Red Interior/Red Full-Dual Stripes (just like that picture ((thanks for that!)).
The only change is to a black convert top instead of the Spice Red. Too many slightly different "reds" if the top is included.
I am assuming that the stripes are factory installed and not dealer installed. I see that "VetteStripes" has buckets of different types of stripes for a lot less (1/3) of the factory cost.
Anyone apply their own stripes?
Are the factory stripes "shiny" like the paint or matt finish?

The stripes are more like a semi gloss feature as far as I know they are installed at the factory but not positive. when the stripes were put on my 15 they even did the transparent top On my 08 I had the factory decal stripes taken off, they were faded ad really looked like crap, I had my dealer paint the stripes on looked great and at about the same cost as the factory stripe just another option. If the stripes on my 15 get bad I will check into having them painted on too
Stripes?
