Since the only two options on the quick order were for the carbon fiber appearance stripe <optional> and the matte stripe appearance stripe <optional> without a seperate code for just the exposed carbon fiber hood I opted for the former. I believe the carbon fiber appearance stripe will be the same as the T3Bee stripe, which closely matches the look of the exposed CF hood. BTW I have no guarantee if mine will be a 2012 or a 2013, which I had to sign for on the agreement, and I have no order number <six digit letter code> until Monday. All a leap of faith.

Well, actually I didn't order the exposed insert because it also wasn't available in the system at the time I ordered. But I have mentally ordered it if that counts for anything

So you also ordered the Ashen Gray, but with the carbon stripe package? I need more info on that one before I consider it, especially with the color that I (we) chose. If it's just a gray glossy stripe to match the clear coated insert, I'm not sure it even would be noticeable on an Ashen Gray ZL1. If it's a very close match carbon fiber patterned vinyl stripe to match the exposed insert, it might look pretty sweet and have me interested (even though I'm not a fan of faux carbon fiber). What do you think?

Right now, I think I'm going with the exposed insert without stripe. If it blends too much and I end up liking the car better with the black insert and stripe, I can always have it painted down the road (and it would be better quality than vinyl). That's my thought process as of today.

Hopefully some really good pics of this SEMA vehicle will help reinforce that the exposed carbon insert on an Ashen Gray ZL1 is the right choice for me.

Shure, on the quick order the choices read verbatim: DSW DECAL PACKAGE HP, CARBON FIBER APPEARANCE <and> DSX DECAL PACKAGE HP, LOW GLOSS. Thats it, no reference to the B92 hood, exposed carbon fiber, as pointed out by 2102ZL1 I believe. Note, on another dealer reference sheet my rep had in his possession it showed features and options. It was listed exposed carbon fiber hood, but mentioned no code. My rep circled that as we talked about the features and options. My quick order didn't go through the system, even after several attempts but I was assured that there was not a problem because they call the GM contact and have them verify the saved information on the quick order and the GM contact completes the order to insure there are no mistakes. I believe the stripe package DSW will look like a carbon fiber stripe that will match the look of the exposed CF hood, like the T3Bee stripes.

I have to imagine it'll be a similar pattern as featured on the most recent Transformers Edition.

You may very well be right, but then again fbodfather's message from Cheryl only described the stripe as gray. And while the pattern of the T3Bee stripes may match the carbon from the insert, the finish wouldn't. Those stripes aren't glossy.

Hopefully we get a good look as to what this stripe looks like soon without having to guess or make assumptions. My opinion is that a glossy "carbon fiber" stripe would look best with the exposed insert. Any low sheen or matte finish stripe would look odd IMO.

Hi ALL
This is the updated ZL-1 Carbon Concept image. I updated this image with the correct wheels, and made it look a little more sinister on Thrusday.......Not sure if anyone has seen it yet.
Photos of the actual car are forth coming and will answer a number of the questions you have.

Enjoy the SEMA cars..........

[Mr. Wyndham]

No 10-spokes with machined face? Awwwww....

Love these, too, though!!! Awesome!

Looks good, thanks!

Will the stripe be the same 'metallic dark gray' stripe offered with the exposed weave CF hood for the 2012 ZL1?

The 10 spoke wheels looked better....

I also think it would look awesome with carbon fiber mirror covers

And possibly even carbon GFX - although not sure how practical that would be.
