When Are We Going To See The Gray Stripe Option & More Exterior Colors?

I am still waiting to see what the gray stripes look like when you choose the exposed carbon fiber hood insert. My order has not been pulled yet so I would like to see what it looks like before it is so I can change it before.

And even though I am set on Summit White, it would still be nice to see some more exterior colors!

I have been wondering if they will look like the carbon fiber stripe on the Transformers Edition.

I left it off. I just don't think real carbon fiber will play well with a vinyl strip kit.

I too would like to see pics but I just don't see how that will work out good.

honestly I have seem most colors though. only ashen gray with exposed carbon insert. Ashen gray is my current color though.

My dealer told me that December 20th, last Tuesday, was the last day to make changes on special orders even if the order hasn't been pulled for production. I would hope that they would be flexible enough to accept variations under your circumstances. Frankly, if my ZL1 shows up with a Hydra-Matic & polished 5 spokes... I wouldn't lose too much sleep. My understanding is that many orders got screwed up this month due to a software glitch... MINE included. My order had changed from an automatic to a manual & 5 spokes to 10 spokes when the ONLY change I made was the "deletion" of the lighted foot wells that were on the original order (dealer installed). It's a d@mn good thing I reviewed the preliminary purchase order prior to being set in stone. GOOD LUCK!

I seem to recall being told they were just gray. No faux Carbon Fiber look. But a gray color to match the hue and tone of the Carbon Fiber Insert.

no i know the stripes are gray when you get the carbon fiber hood insert. i would just like to see them so i know if i made the right choice by changing my order yesterday.

as of now it looks like this:

Summit White (Exterior)
- 6-Speed Manual
- Carbon Fiber Exposed Hood Insert
- Polished Wheels
- Stripe Package
- LPO Floor Mats

i went with the stripes because i think the charcoal/gray stripes will break up the white exterior nicely and go with the hood and rocker panels. looking forward to it, i always have leaned towards sporty vs clean looks with my cars which is why ulitmately i decided on the stripes last minute!

You are brave but I have a good feeling that the stripe, whatever it may look like, will go very well with your vehicle's configuration. Should look sweet!

As my order is AGM with the exposed insert, I just couldn't make that leap of faith. It could be a really nice ghost stripe effect, or it could look pointless. I thought about it, but decided no stripe for me without seeing it.

Just a suggestion but you could hold off on the stripes. Then when you see them either in person or in pictures and decide you like them, order the stripe kit from the dealer. It's not ideal as I'm sure the factory would do the best job putting them on but a body shop or graphics shop could apply them for you if you decided you wanted them. Food for thought..

i do not trust the dealers anymore. no offense. it is never perfect like it is from thefactory when dealing with vinyl stripes. i am confident in my decision.
