Default C8 Stripes

Can someone tell me if the stripes are shiny or a flat color?

If they're the same material and application process as the C7 they look great...

As stated earlier same as the C7 except the C8 stripes width are thinner and narrow as they get to the front and back of the car.

So the Stripes are not painted on? I see in the picture of the back of the C8 with the black stripe that it also has a black 'Corvette' emblem. GM would not accept my order for an Edge Red rear emblem on a Blade Silver Metallic car with Dark Gray stripes. Can I change that with an Override?
Thanks all...

There is the D30 Color Combination Override, but I believe it is only for overriding exterior, interior and seat belt color combinations, not for exterior decor. In fact, it is listed in the Interior portion the the GM Ordering Guide. I guess you could try it and see what happens.

Anyone know if these can be dealer applied? On a Mini Cooper the dealer can put on the stripes. But my guess is "no" in this case.

Not painted on as they are decals.

Will try that, thanks for the reply. I really like the Edge Red emblem on the car. I can get the GM part aftermarket, but would like to have it when I pick up the car at the Museum!

Unless something has changed they are applied at the factory. So you'll be good where-ever you pick it up.

Default Stripe Edging

I received the first pictures of my car from the dealer and the stripes have black carbon accent edges on it. The make the stripe much more pronounced than without the edging. I still like them, just a little different than I was expecting.

The stripes are definitely not painted on. But the vinyl does look good applied
on the car.
