Default Snapped a Few Pics of a 60th ZR1

Since it was sitting under a tent like object I couldn't get a good pic of the top. First one I've seen with the chrome wheels.

BTW: The new rebates will be announced Tuesday: Stay Tuned

Wish the dealer hadn't stuck their logo to the rear.

I thought Cyber Gray headlights were part of the package?

Also, on others I have seen stripes go underneath the rear spoiler rather than over top of it such as the stripes on this one do.

I think the stripes on the roof would look okay if the roof was painted, but having stripes on top of the carbon fiber does not work for me. I suppose they could be pulled off but better yet never put on and then they can be saved for when the car is sold.

Edit: the one I saw with the stripes underneath the rear spoiler had the performance package

Agree - should not have stripes on the CF roof.

The stripes on the vert roof rock, tho.

that they do--the stripes on the 60th Anniv. vert package (or on the cars w/body-color roofs) look killer !

Thanks for the pictures.

I'm with the majority on the idea of not having the stripe continue over that beautiful C/F roof.

I think the stripes are terrible, cheap tape. You should at leadt have the option of painted stripes. 125k car should have painted stripes.

Imo the ZR1 does not lend itself well to special edition appearance packages…the ZR1 Centennial Edition doesn’t work at all and this one is only marginally better.

The ZR1 is a complete package in and of itself; GM should just leave it be.

This stripe/appearance package works well with the cup wheels only IMO.

The chromies don't do it for me in this case, in fact I think they ruin the appearance of the total package.

there is a white 1zr on ebay with black headlamps, black wheels, stripes, has black spoiler.....the black spoiler over the stripes looks terrible imo...don't care for the black lites on white either...you can see the stripes over the roof very clearly and they also don't look so good....maybe in person....but i am not a fan as of yet

Really not considering the stripe as a deal breaker. Would go with something darker for the wheels tho. Keep us posted about pricing then!
