Nice, but expensive, convertible.

I thought all of the factory aerobodies came with the rubber strip left in black, not painted as shown in the picture. I actually like the painted look better, but I do not think Callaway rolled them out like this.

Does anyone know the real story on whether the dividing strip was painted for some cars and not for others? I have a non-turbo aerobody 91 convertible with the black strip painted lipstick red (see attachment), but my car is definitely a later owner conversion and did not come from Callaway (although the body was purchased from Callaway).

With the "normal" vette's the rubber strip was painted in the body color from 91!.
I always thought that callaway did the same thing, but with this 90 with colored strip my theorie is mixed up...

typically when Callaway install Aero the beltline was painted black. It could have been a customer request however.

Nice vette, but for $65K, I'd get a new C5 & do $15K worth of after market stuff to it ..

Real nice vette tho ...

Exactly. I do still use this as a possible way of telling whether the car was done at The Final Finish or elsewhere. That's the shop that did most (almost all) the Aerobody conversions for Callaway. It was never done "in house" as Callaway is an engineering shop and has never had a body shop. The area around the license plate would generally be done in black as well. Another Final Finish detail is a black rubber strip (thin and round) placed around all the lights molded into the body- those being the tail lights and fog/turn signals.

On my car which was repainted in 2000 I could have done either with the beltline molding. On a light colored car I think it looks better in black.

That is a beautiful car but the body was probably added some time after the original purchase.

Then you'd have a C5 that could keep up with a Callaway
