Stripe Info

I finally received a call back from GM Engineering on the stripe packages. Here is what he tells me:

Black stripes - Single Hood, Rally and Hockey stripes are in a MATTE finish. I'm thinking they're going for a "heritage" look

All colors - Are in a GLOSSY finish.


I think GM's logic with the black is the heritage feel. Hopefully my stripes will be here today or Wednesday!!!

Diller,

Thanks for your efforts on this. I think a lot of folks will be disappointed about the matte finish on the black rally stripes .. I know I am. Are you absolutely sure that the hockey and single hood stripes are silver, not cyber grey metallic? It seems that every other source, including the GM builder, says CGM. I'm still going to order (from you, BTW), but I'm totally in the dark about which ones. Can you please show some pictures when you get your stripes in?

I really like the matte finish stripes on other cars, I think it will look good on the Camaro for the most part

I still think vinyl is for boats

It looks great on these Chargers for example
These Yellow versions are my second favroite Chargers next to the SRT8 series.

I'm a little disappointed in the black too Maybe once I see them on a car I will change my mind.

The hockey and single hood are "Silver Ice", but the Rallys are either "Silver Ice" or "Cyber Gray Met", your choice.


I'll try to snap pics as soon as they are here......

Also think of it this way. With vinyl if you don't like the stripes, heat them up with a hair dryer or heat gun and remove them. Paint is a little tougher to do that with.

I'd rather take my chances

I am just glad that I didn't order stripes on my Silver Ice 2SS/RS.

you donnt need to have the stripe package in you order. all u have to do is order them at the dealership and they can put on within a day or two. thats what im doing the only thing you lose is price promise so may be a little higher

I sell them a bit cheaper than most dealers out there.....and you a choose whatever color you want that's available - sometimes the online "build your own" doesn't offer certain combinations.
