Hey guys, I got a Z on order and Im always on here reading constantly but couldn't find an answer. So on all the cars that aren't black they have a painted black hood? I have a white car in order but I don't want the black hood I like it all white. Any pointers? Or is having the hood painted black an option?

The black Stinger Stripe on the hood is optional. Unless you included it in your order your hood will be white. Congrats!

I think what you're talking about is the "stinger" stripe in the center of the hood? It is an option, if you didn't order it, it will not be on the car. The hood will be painted the same color as the car.

You can play with the chevy configurator for the Stingray (they don't have one for the Z06). Build yourself a white stingray and the hood will be white. Click the carbon flash stinger option (on the exterior options page) and it should add the stinger, so you can verify that is what you are talking about.

The stinger stripe is optional - but the vents in the hood aren't - and they will come black. So you won't get a completely white hood.
