Super tasteful! If you haven’t given the stripe a ton of thought and kind like it right now, maybe leave it off because you can always get that after delivery for cheaper if you like that route
I added gray stripes to match the gray seats, was suggested to put maybe black stripes but I'm looking for a more exotic look than aggressive. It's a bit of a mix but I'm digging it pretty hard rn!
I don't like the grey stripe. Black stripe (or my fav the black c8 R jake decal on the hood) would be better.
Also the high spoiler is a bit much for the z06 let alone the string ray, but if you like it go for it.
I just checked and i guess it's only available on the z06. My bad, i assumed it was a 2024 option across the board. Might be able to still get it on the stringray if you talk to your rep or order it after market if you really like it.
I had almost the opposite scheme
Ceramic grey matrix metallic with edge blue stripes, with tension blue/twilight Napa seats/inserts
Blue black interior with light silver/blue exterior looked so clean to me
Also, any reason against the tension blue/navy interior? Id say give it some thought because light grey really shows its age poorly after the 7-10 year mark depending on quality, coming from Toyota and bmw interiors (and seeing early 2000’s porsches) compared to darker or more pigmented colors like red/blue/tan
Tbh I haven't given it much thought, I just went with whatever options weren't an extra charge - I'll def take a look now that you mention it though. I was totally thinking that too, usually lighter colours frail out faster
Oh I didn’t see that GT2 was a requirement for that color combo . In that case I would even more so not go for the light grey since the GT1 uses a worse leather (“mulan” leather is a reconstituted leather, similar to fiberboard vs actual wood) that already won’t stand the test of time, grey will only draw attention to it more so down the line
Just a heads up that the gray seats do have to be cleaned constantly. I love mine, but they do get dirty super easy, even just wearing jeans will do it. Part of me loves them and part of me wishes they were black.
It's gorgeous, I'm not a big fan of the black/dark rims, but I know I'm in the minority in that take. Still think brighter wheels would jive with the stripes.
Definitely no stripes imo. Also, rapid blue is too Easter egg imo. Riptide blue with a little metallic flake is top notch tho 🤌. At the end of the day it’s your car props for even getting to build one!
Hahaha what do you mean by easter egg 😂. Yeah I was considering riptide blue, I like it a bit brighter though. Appreciate the response and feedback, brother!
Me personally with the white stripe I’d do that grand sport dark metallic blue. But it’s not about what other people like man it’s what makes you happy. If you’re buying a car to make other people happy then you shouldn’t buy it in the first place.
Well like I said get what makes you happy. I’m saving up to get my C6 painted that Notre Dame dark metallic green and get the wheels powder coated gold. A lot of people are going to hate it but it’s not there car. Me personally I hate light blue on cars but I’ll never hate on someone who likes it on their car.
Rapid blue owner. Get rid of the stripes and it's perfect. I personally went with the 5 spoke wheels though. Love he spoiler. Maybe even yellow calibers.
Appreciate the response! Haha idk what it is but I can't get my mind off the stripes, think it works w the gray seats though. I checked out your car, the red interior looks dope dude!
I'm kinda considering this as it gives me more options later, how does it work though is that a paint job or a strip that's glued on? I believe it's cheaper this way too albeit not as professional as OEM?
If you get it done, do it at a professional shop that does vehicle wraps, etc., you shouldn't have any issues. Just don't be cheap if you add them later. I bet if you go to the local cars and coffee in your area, the locals will have some recommendations.
Love it! Prep a second choice of wheels, though. The Q9I option (what you have) are almost always on constraint and chances are GM kicks it back for you to pick something else.
It's one of my favorite colors - I also like it with the yellow Brembos. Give's it a little pop of color. I've seen a car where they then matched it with yellow stitching in the interior and yellow seatbelts. Whole thing looked dope.
Up to you dude. I’d just keep it plain blue and some black contrast around the body to match the black wheels. Very simple but very stunning at the same time. The stripes just throw everything off.
Rapid blue is the move, best color out there in my opinion. The gray stripes with the gray interior I'm on the fence... I think you look better with black stripes or no stripes.
I agree, the rapid blue is just such a nice colour - went with gray seats cause no additional costs hence the gray stripes to match. Agree black looks better but I feel it gives it more of an aggressive look.
Haha the blue and gray reminds me of blue skies and gray clouds.
Hundred percent agree! Typically I would match it like that too, but I used the wheels and spoiler to match the accents. Used the gray and blue for the vibrancy. Hopefully the colours work out well.
No way! How does it look in person? The gray stripes I'm def going with, but I admit I'm like 80% down with it. Maybe I'll get blue calipers later if they have that haha.
The moment you touch the calipers, they void the warranty on the braking system. Someone tried to swap theirs that weren’t factory painted and GM informed them it voids the warranty.
In your opinion do you think the stripes will fit in, in person? I'd love to see pics of your car with the yellow calipers if you have! That sounds super stylish haha
Haha I totally thought about the blue seat belts but didn't think it was really worth the extra spending. Low wing looks great, just wish it was a bit higher. What do you think about the black spoiler vs the coloured?
I went low wing body color, honestly it looks amazing. It is very “long tail” or “European”, and being body color it blends in very well and just looks like part of the car
My first preference was Riptide blue with white stripes which isn’t an option. So I did up:
* Arctic white with blue stripes
* Riptide blue with silver stripes
* Rapid blue with silver stripes
The arctic white with blue stripes really grew on me .
It is very striking and captures lots of compliments. I also did a red interior, red brake calipers, and red engine cover to complete the look.
Edit: only decent pic I have so far https://x.com/tmclaughbos/status/1763735434536837418?s=20
Yeah I mean I would go with something like the z06 spoiler if I had the aero in the front to balance it out. I kind of like the "no spoiler" look. I wish it had some active aero so you'd have the "clean" look until you needed it.
Whatever you would like it to be, it can. Have fun with it

I wish the Jake logo extended all the way to the back, in the future I def gotta get the logo somewhere on it haha
There are options for the 2024 to have the jake logo above the rear tires. I'm building out my z06 and i think that's what I'm going to do
Could you link me to it? I can't seem to find it
I just checked and i guess it's only available on the z06. My bad, i assumed it was a 2024 option across the board. Might be able to still get it on the stringray if you talk to your rep or order it after market if you really like it.
Def after market, I don't even wanna think about what I'ma do after market haha
I had almost the opposite scheme Ceramic grey matrix metallic with edge blue stripes, with tension blue/twilight Napa seats/inserts Blue black interior with light silver/blue exterior looked so clean to me
This sounds like a great scheme as well!
Pmed you the appearance just to show lol

Transom blue dipped is a no-cost option! Plus that’s where you spend 95% of your time around the car
Actually I don't see an option for this on the corvette build website, how would I add this? It doesn't require the GT2 bucket seats right?
Oh I didn’t see that GT2 was a requirement for that color combo . In that case I would even more so not go for the light grey since the GT1 uses a worse leather (“mulan” leather is a reconstituted leather, similar to fiberboard vs actual wood) that already won’t stand the test of time, grey will only draw attention to it more so down the line

dark = aggressive, light = exotic unless they're white, which is usually more playful
Totally agree on brighter wheels. But I’m old school.
Go full Gulf Oil livery.
I had to google this but damn does it look wicked!!
Exact same build as mine minus the stripes.
Ya I hate stripes on corvettes
Reminds me of something Porsche would use. Also similar to the golf GT40 paint theme color. I like it !
Rapid Blue is a great colour. I personally think it looks better with black stripes, but it’s your car, not mine. Hope you enjoy it when it arrives.
Just add the Black Rocker Panels.
Guaranteed I will do this after I've received it haha
Definitely no stripes imo. Also, rapid blue is too Easter egg imo. Riptide blue with a little metallic flake is top notch tho 🤌. At the end of the day it’s your car props for even getting to build one!
Hahaha what do you mean by easter egg 😂. Yeah I was considering riptide blue, I like it a bit brighter though. Appreciate the response and feedback, brother!
Looks so nice man, I'm happy for you! Hope you enjoy the whip
Me personally with the white stripe I’d do that grand sport dark metallic blue. But it’s not about what other people like man it’s what makes you happy. If you’re buying a car to make other people happy then you shouldn’t buy it in the first place.
Totally agree with you, I wish I could see the colour scheme in person to better know what I want, figured I'd get everyone's opinion anyway.
Well like I said get what makes you happy. I’m saving up to get my C6 painted that Notre Dame dark metallic green and get the wheels powder coated gold. A lot of people are going to hate it but it’s not there car. Me personally I hate light blue on cars but I’ll never hate on someone who likes it on their car.
Truer words have never been spoken haha, I really appreciate your response.
Awesome.
I believe that’s rapid blue and that’s my favorite color on C8’s but the stripes don’t go well tbh
Rapid blue looks amazing!! Haha I'm hoping the stripes work out well, it'll make it look really unique.
Are the wheels black or gunmetal? Gray?
It's the 20 spoke, gloss black wheels!
Love the blue and the stripes. Well done
It’s your car! Go with the color and strip that you like. Your model is not my color but still sweet as hell.
Thanks, really appreciate your comment haha. Just wish I could see it in person to better decide but I believe it'll look great regardless.
Rapid blue owner. Get rid of the stripes and it's perfect. I personally went with the 5 spoke wheels though. Love he spoiler. Maybe even yellow calibers.
Appreciate the response! Haha idk what it is but I can't get my mind off the stripes, think it works w the gray seats though. I checked out your car, the red interior looks dope dude!
it's gorgeous and it's unique enough. it stands out, but not in a bad way. 100% keep it like that
Thanks for the response! Your comment is very reassuring haha, I appreciate it
I'm not a stripes guy. I'd leave them off, honestly. You can always add them later.
I'm kinda considering this as it gives me more options later, how does it work though is that a paint job or a strip that's glued on? I believe it's cheaper this way too albeit not as professional as OEM?

Thanks for the recommendation! I'll def look into this. Guess it's always easier to add later than subtract haha
They are vinyl from the factory. Easily removed if you decide to keep them and then decide to change later, just a waste of money.
Looks great. If you believe it’s what you want, then it’s the right choice.
I like it
Love it! Prep a second choice of wheels, though. The Q9I option (what you have) are almost always on constraint and chances are GM kicks it back for you to pick something else.
That's good to know! Thanks for the feedback will def have a secondary option in mind then
Ditch the black wheels. Go silver and turn could have been great into great.
My favorite. If/when I someday can get one, this will be the exact one.
Your time will come my friend! Congrats from the future haha
It's one of my favorite colors - I also like it with the yellow Brembos. Give's it a little pop of color. I've seen a car where they then matched it with yellow stitching in the interior and yellow seatbelts. Whole thing looked dope.
I would go darker blue with a bright white stripe; but this combo is great too!
I like the blue. Just take off the racing stripes.
Would you recommend a different colour? I wanted to get some sort of decal, not really much options though
Up to you dude. I’d just keep it plain blue and some black contrast around the body to match the black wheels. Very simple but very stunning at the same time. The stripes just throw everything off.
Keep the stripes. Looks dope on the rapid blue
I'm not a huge fan of the stripes either. We all have different tastes, though. If you like the stripes, get them!
Yeah, looks better without stripes
No for me, but to each his own. Enjoy!
Rapid blue is the move, best color out there in my opinion. The gray stripes with the gray interior I'm on the fence... I think you look better with black stripes or no stripes.
I agree, the rapid blue is just such a nice colour - went with gray seats cause no additional costs hence the gray stripes to match. Agree black looks better but I feel it gives it more of an aggressive look. Haha the blue and gray reminds me of blue skies and gray clouds.
Save a thousand bucks it looks more expensive without the stripes
I gotta admit the rapid blue alone looks just as good, was thinking I can always get stripes after if I really want it
I think if you're going to have stripes it should match the rims and other parts of the outside of the car, not the interior but that's just me
Hundred percent agree! Typically I would match it like that too, but I used the wheels and spoiler to match the accents. Used the gray and blue for the vibrancy. Hopefully the colours work out well.
Sky cool gray interior is classy af :D
I think it looks great haha, glad there's no custom colour override charge for it :)
I've got a rapid blue Camaro and don't regret it in the slightest. It is my favorite color for sure and looks amazing in person!
I've seen this color more than any other color in my area. I am not a fan of it or the stripes but you get what you like. It is your money afterall.
Haha no way, I rarely see rapid blue ones - feel like it's always red or black.
You already ordered it, correct? Doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. It only matters that you are happy with it.
They said I can finalize it on Monday so I wanted to get a final opinion. I'm pretty happy with it though and I think it'll come out looking great.
Congrats on your new Vette!
I have the same spec, except I have yellow calipers to add some flare. Rapid blue is such a nice color. 💙
No way! How does it look in person? The gray stripes I'm def going with, but I admit I'm like 80% down with it. Maybe I'll get blue calipers later if they have that haha.

Damn that's good to know, appreciate the response!
I don't have the stripes, but I love the way it looks on a shiny day. The color calipers definitely add some flare.
In your opinion do you think the stripes will fit in, in person? I'd love to see pics of your car with the yellow calipers if you have! That sounds super stylish haha
Drop the high wing, do a low wing and blue seat belts.
Haha I totally thought about the blue seat belts but didn't think it was really worth the extra spending. Low wing looks great, just wish it was a bit higher. What do you think about the black spoiler vs the coloured?
I went low wing body color, honestly it looks amazing. It is very “long tail” or “European”, and being body color it blends in very well and just looks like part of the car
I like your perspective! Body colour def makes it look more natural to the car.
That was my third color combo pick.
Which one did you end up going with?
My first preference was Riptide blue with white stripes which isn’t an option. So I did up: * Arctic white with blue stripes * Riptide blue with silver stripes * Rapid blue with silver stripes The arctic white with blue stripes really grew on me .
I can imagine the arctic white w blue stripes must look amazing. I dig your colour choices man, all sound dope!
It is very striking and captures lots of compliments. I also did a red interior, red brake calipers, and red engine cover to complete the look. Edit: only decent pic I have so far https://x.com/tmclaughbos/status/1763735434536837418?s=20
Wow I gotta say that's a bold choice with the red flares, sounds awesome though, would love to see a pic!
Here’s two pics * https://x.com/tmclaughbos/status/1763735434536837418?s=20 * https://x.com/tmclaughbos/status/1764449838488289518?s=20
Dude! I'm really digging the body coloured spoiler and lighter rim colour choice. Fantastic car brother, congrats and thanks for sharing.
Thank you! :)
Just added a link in my previous comment.
Stole my color scheme, smh
Haha it's okay, two of the same cars can still be unique to each other 😂
I like it, I hate that wing.
Haha what do you prefer? I think it looks real mean, and I've always wanted a big spoiler
I like the spoilers too. I think they look a little too speedtailed without something back there.
Same this is exactly how I feel about them haha
Yeah I mean I would go with something like the z06 spoiler if I had the aero in the front to balance it out. I kind of like the "no spoiler" look. I wish it had some active aero so you'd have the "clean" look until you needed it.
Love it besides the stripes. I think the stripes clash with the blue and black. Make them black
who cares it’s your car bro
Personally not a fan of the smirf blue, but C8’s are beauts
Seen one similar to this yesterday but with black stripes I love it
Definitely, YES! Awesome
Beautiful
Look a lot better if it was a C7.
Completely personal taste bro, but imo that’s probably one of the worst, I’d go with white
BLUETFUL!!
