This is actually my video.... To tell the whole story, I have ordered a lot of C8's and this was my first mistake. The customer wanted Zeus Bronze 1LT with no added options at all. I still cannot figure out how this car got ordered with the stripes but here they are. I called the customer as soon as I knew it was coming with the stripes and we both were kind of speechless that his new car was going to have yellow stripes. Then it showed up and I sent him some pictures in good lighting and he loved it. He came in today to see it in person and knows it will be a unique build and very few will end up with the same color combination.

All these cars are personal. We all have different tastes. We don't have to agree. I'd own it.

Ordered ZB - wanted silver strips but the wife said NO. Ended up with the little accent stripes on the hood. Car is being build tomorrow.

I don't see anything wrong with it. I like seeing people customize it to their taste, so all the C8s don't all look the same once there are thousands of them on the road.

That's Zeus Bronze. Likely a one hit wonder.

Stripes are so played out. Just about every mustang has them. I can't stand them on any car.

I saw my first ZB out in the wild, today. No stripes and black wheels. It was a lot better than I expected.

They could be easily removed. Looks interesting.

I am not a ZB fan, but that does NOT look bad.

No not really. I ordered Artic White with black interior and belts. That's what is so neat about this car is because it's your preferences.

When I was going over my final configuration, I posed many options to my wife with varying color combos. This was one of them as I would not order ZB without a yellow/orange stripe. We ended up not ordering this combo. CMG with blue accents was close but in the end it was the Halloween special that won out.

Someone at the assembly plant was reading my mind.
