So what's the story with the factory stripes?
All the shots I see are without any stripes.
Any words?

I would assume those won't change much from the 5th to the 6th gen.

Considering they're just decals, I don't see GM prioritizing slapping them on pre-production cars right now.

Looks like a single strip option is in the cards over a dual split strip setup.
Car on the far left.

I don't know that hockey stick stripes will fit well on this body, which makes me a little sad. I may be down with the single stripe, though. I'm all about breaking up the space with stripes and accents.

Were the stripes on the 5th Gen factory installed? I thought the dealers added stripe packages.. I remember back in the day, Toyota pickups all had different stripes depending on where you bought them because of the dealers all doing their own thing.

The dealership that my Camaro originated from put pinstripeing on EVERY Camaro, regardless if it had factory rally stripes. It looked terrible, IMO, to have both. They'd have white Camaros with red rally stripes and red pinstripeing. I think it visually works with mine, because it is just black with only the silver pinstripe, no other decals.

With the fifth gen the stripes were put on at another location down the street from the Oshawa plant. That's why brand new fifth gens with stripes or 1LE hood wraps have a few more miles on them. The process for the sixth gen stripes hasn't been announced yet.

I feel like the side panels at a lot of angels are oceans of color. We don't have the generic vent strips to break things up.

Actually both, you could get them direct from the factory (actually by a shop close to the plant would install them) or as a dealer installed option.

On the 6th gen I would agree.....on the 5th it looks naked without any stripes at all.
