Default Grand Sport Stripe Opinion
What do you think of grand sport stripes on a C5 Z? I'm thinking about putting some on. Any pics of an electron blue Z with black grand sport stripes?

I can't say, because I'm having a hard time picturing it.. So I'll stick around for pics too.

I will say that the GS was always my favorite of the C4's

I really like your stripes. Where do you get them. The carbon fiber looks great.

Sorry, I didn't know you meant the hash marks, I thought you were talking about the main skunk stripe..

I think they're cool, but I also think I'd get tired of them on MY car.

Z06 Hellcat, do you mind explaining how you made your own stripes?

Thanks

I've seen guys use vinyl for the stripes giving lots of color options and a do it yourself install. I just wonder if it would peel the paint if removed as you may get tired of them after a while...
Anyone ever removed a set?
