I think the dual stripes look great. You could always remove them if you decided you didn't like the look. Just a thought. Good luck with your decision.
Stripes probably began with racing--as a way of individual cars being recognized by those in the pits. On the street they're really serving no purpose (except maybe drawing police attention).
That said, buy them if you want. I think I'd go with no stripe.
Riiiight....because the C7 without stripes won't be noticed by police.
I'm a big fan of Stripes but not a fan of vinyl. I have mine painted and highlighted with 'ol school pinstriping for just a few dollars more then the factory vinyl.
Went on Test Track in Epcot today and they had a C7 vert, yellow with black full body stripes on display when you got off the ride. The car looked great and everyone was taking pictures of it and with it. I like stripes and I agree with the earlier reply "Only you can decide, it's your vet". Good luck with your decision and you will love it either way.
A very bad cell phone pic of the 2015 C7 that was on display.
I never cared for stripes on Vettes. I do like them on muscle cars, Vipers, and AC Cobras. That said, I wouldn't kick a striped Vette out of the garage. If you like the look, go for it.

Ditto on removing later if you changed your mind although I doubt you would if the stripes are something you're considering today. Never thought I would ever own a Vette with stripes but ordered by AW with Crystal Red stripes last year and to me they compliment the car very well. After a year when I see an AW w/o stripes it looks naked to me (no offense to other AW owners w/o stripes). Your combo will look great and you'll love the look in person even better than pics you've seen or done the GM site. Good luck with your decision and post pics later regardless of which way you go.
Outside NCM Day 1
My C7 is the same color combo as 1KulC7, except mine is a coupe. It's hot.
If I were to order an Artic white it \would have to be a 3LT A.R. interior with the full length stripes.
Im about a day or two away from placing my C7 order and have decided on everything except whether or not to get the dual racing stripes. My car will be an Arctic White coupe with gray interior and the ZF1 appearance package and if I do get the stripes, it will be the Blade Silver full length dual racing stripes. I have only seen one car so far with this combo. I think the light stripes on the Arctic White color, especially with the gray interior, might look pretty hot. What do you guys think? Do the stripes hold up in the long run (numerous washes, etc)? Opinions on this combo?
Going nuts trying to decide Any advice will be appreciated.
Racing Stripes make the car look different, if you like that look go for it; if the only reason you are buying the car is because you want to sell it later, than get the factory stripes that can be taken off. If you really like stripes then get them painted, look at the picture of the AW with the painted stripes in the color you like. Now if you want stripes that is the way to do it, regardless of if you like stripes or not you have to respect that the car looks in good with those painted stripes. People are always telling you what they want and can't see the beauty in things other than what they want! Hell, I would not want the Mona Lisa hanging in my house, but I sure can respect the beauty of that painting.
I tried the hash marks on the drivers side but took them off after about 5 months. Just couldn't fall in love with them.
After I get back from the bash I'm going to look into the full length black stripes but if I do I'll probably have to trash the small 'Jake'. I kind of like him there but won't be a big deal to remove for the stripes.
