Does this mean the coin holder is not coming pre-filled with toll money?

WELL THEN, I'M NOT BUYING THE CAR!

I'll be keeping mine all original with the factory-applied stripe package, after all, how much would a '67 Z-28 be worth with the original paint and stripes right now?

(I know, more than 602 2010 SS's will be built!)

I really don't think there is as much moaning and groaning about the stripes as there has been about most other "issues". And as far as myself, I only said that I did not like the rear stripe stopping on top of the spoiler and would have stripes painted locally so they will go over and down to the bottom of the spoiler. As far as it hurting the value down the road, I frankly don't give a rat's behind, I'll likely be dead of old age before it's ever sold anyway.

Well yes, we could all be clones and everyone like the exact same thing, but wouldn't that be a dull and boring world. The reality is, we are humans with almost as many opinions as individuals.
So those opinions are voiced, and no one should be rebuked for doing so. I do not fault GM for choosing what is practical, but I will let them know my preferences, which I thought was one of the purposes of this forum.
Ridicule and name calling such as "nagging old women" simply demonstrates the unappealing attritrubes of intolerance and narrowmindness of the callers.

I'll have you know it took 1 hour and 3 minutes for me to roll. Check the log.

What are you talking about?!?! You dont need to see. Make them solid, forget translusence!!!

I dont even consider it rolling over. I like #3 without stripes. JMO. I like other cars with them. I dont like any with the stripes wrapping from bumper to bumper tho.

Stripes put on my dealer or contractor hired by dealer, is way better than paying about the same for some price crappy stickers and trying to do it myself.

Im just happy where even offered these as an option.

Stripes must be able to be put on without error - and they must be put on within a given timeperiod on the assembly line.

bottom line? Several ways to do this:

>Factory installed
>Dealer installed
>aftermarket installed
>painted on

The choice is up to you!

You Da MAN!!!!

Hope you don't mind the color for emphasis..

As I have been saying if everyone got everything they wanted on this car, the car would be so costly that half the people that this car is marketed to wouldn't be able to afford it.

whaaaaawng whaaaaaaang (sad trombone sound).

Guess I won't be getting stripes. Over the spoiler is MUCH better.

I hate the way the final version of the stripes look. The stripes should go from the mail slot to the backside of the spoiler. Just like the first versions!!! Did the 4th Gens stop early also??? Why change?

opinions are good to express. But, when it goes on and on and on, it gets a bit repetitive. GM did the stripes the way they are for financial reasons. If you don't like it, buy one stripeless and add your own. It'll then be one of a kind.

I dont have my papers handy but I think its about 36K. That's $36,000.00 bucks, LOL

I would hate to spend all that money and THEN have to find a place to get the stripes done the correct way.

I think it costs anywhere from 390 to 450 to get the stripes done from GM. CHARGE extra and do them right Scott. It's an option, its not raising the base price.

I can UNDERSTAND why you did the front hood stripes short because of the mailslot, that could get "dicey" while installing.
But the REAR spoiler is a no brainer, it should go over the spoiler for sure. A guy driving behind you don't even see that the car is striped unless hes driving a bus, LOL
