You may prefer the more squared stripes on the dale jr editions. But the ones on that 07 are more authentic.

Does look really authentic to jr's stripes. I like it but there could have been a lot more done to this car from the dealer in my opinion. Black ground effects? Red on Black would look awesome especially for this Monte, just my thinking though lol.

I agree with you Justin. I think Earnhardt Chevy could've done a much better job at making a limited edition. Especially if it was only 5 cars.

As for the authentic looking stripes. Considering the white outline is missing, you would think Dale Earnhardt Chevrolet would know better than to screw up their own logo. :wtf:

I'm also questioning how willing Dale Jr would be to co-operate with a project like this. A promotion like this has Theresa Earnhardt written all over it. She's all about making more money for herself. At the time when these cars were made, Dale Jr was in the middle of a dispute with her. A dispute that lead him to announce he was leaving DEI and jumping to Hendrick Motorsports.

I like it otherwise, but not the decal on the side, everything else is pretty nice, except for that price, good goly!

I was talking about the racing stripes, they're rounded in the corners

I wasn't sure which stripes you were talking about. I don't mind the racing stripes.

I wish they would've taken a shot of the embroidery on the headrests. That's obviously one of the few features of the car and I can't believe they didn't capture those. I mean, they are in one picture, not as the focus, way off to the side. Their racing stripes are way too rounded off on the corners for my liking. The black version say "Dale Sr." WAY more than the red.

The color of the head rests don't even match the rest of the seat color. Totally made up car.

Wow missed a lot of comments while i was asleep, I jsut thought it was interesting so I posted it lol.

The drivers side visor is signed by Dale Earnhardt and passenger visor is signed by Kerry Earnhardt.
I sure hope they mean Dale Jr cuz if not than its deff a fake lol, but it is supposed to be a Sr Special Edition so who knows lol, but id stay away from it
