Has ANYBODY taken delivery of a C7 with racing stripes yet?

Racer
Well I ordered CRT with carbon black stripes. Here's also a pic of my car coming off the line on Monday. My factory contact says they apply the stripes off line. Make sense considering the line moves. Notice the badges are already on the car.

If I were to order one today I'd get yellow or red with the black stripes. Silver stripes might be sweet too.
Check out this yellow and black on one eBay right now. Looks sweet IMHO.

That Vette looks great. I am just waiting on mine, ordered it 2 weekends ago. I ordered the NRB with blade silver stripes and black rims. I am so excited and very anxious, I just can't wait lol. Thanks for showing the car, now I get a general idea of what she is gonna look like.

I know I'm in the minority of people who like the full-length racing stripes. Most people seem to think they're ricey or Mustang-y, but whatevs, I dig em. Point of this thread is to try to find some people who have the stripes so they can hopefully show us some of their unique color combos. I haven't seen any stripes anywhere yet.
There's no way I can be the only person here who likes the stripes... is there? (I really hope not, otherwise they might be gone by the time I'm ready to buy)
Or was there a production constraint that has made it such that early orders could not have the stripes?

i have a cyber grey (or, more accurately, will in several days) and intend to have the (single) stripe from the hood vents, back to the windows put on when i can find a credible painter. sorry, cant provide any pics, but if you search the web, you should be able to find some. try google images (if you know how to use that) as a likely source. the silver-like color (2014) looks like it was made to have the stripe (in black, ive seen pics and it looks great, imo), i think. that, along with the black wheels. its all a matter of taste--oh, yea, and resale value. my guess is that you are limiting the available buyers with a stripe on any car, since you can always add it, but more problematic to remove it and match the original color. be well.

As I understand it, the factory applies the Stripes off-line; and, that makes sense considering the line moves. If that is correct, the badges and lettering are on the car before the stripes are applied. I would like to "clean-up" the rear of my C7 by removing the "CORVETTE" letters. However, I'm not sure about possibly damaging the Stripes if I remove the badges and/or lettering now. Does anyone know if this will be a problem? Has anyone with the Stripes actually removed the badges/lettering? Thanks!

I am surprised how rare the stripe option is. I know there aren't a lot of combinations that looks good, but I am still surprised.

I had them put the CF dual stripes on the LB I pick-up next week , though they won't stay on long as the whole C7 after arrival is getting a complete makeover
