Any love for stripes?
Never owned a car before with stripes but the dual carbon (black) stripes really seem to set off the blade silver.
Anyone else going to order stripes on their C8?

Not a stripe guy either but playing with the configurator I did like the midnight stripes on the red spider I config'd. I am not a buyer right now though, waiting to see what the Z cars look like before making a C8 decision. I do agree the black stripes would look good on the silver too.

I’ve never had a car with stripes but went with stripes on the C8. It helps breaks up the Accelerate Yellow.
A lot of people say save your money and have a wrap person do stripes aftermarket. Definitely true, but whatever... order is in so it’s a done deal!
...and they are stickers anyway (expensive stickers) so if I don’t like them, I can take them off.

I love stripes and the silver looks great but I don't like silver with black stripes... IMO the midnight stripes would look better...

I love them on the 427, but I’m going to pass on the C8
But obviously, I changed my mind

I love stripes, and the high wing, but I'm afraid they're both gonna make it look too much like a race car wannabe for my tastes. Definitely like to look at 'em, just not sure I wanna own 'em.

Unless you're looking for a different style, the factory stripes are a good deal imo. From what I've seen on the C7's, they are high quality and the carbon flash matches exactly to the other trim on the car. If you go aftermarket you have to wrap around the badging and lettering...

Not a chance unless they were a racing stripe applied through the drivers center as a visual aid to drift angle. Unnecessary in modern times but an actual vintage use of a stripe.

Go with the stripes. They really look good on the C8.
