Default C6 Non-GS Stripes Ideas

I am toying with the idea of adding a form or fender stripes to my drivers side fender. I like the idea behind the GS stripes but since my car is not a GS I dont want to front it to be one with the same stripes.

I have a rack load of stuff in my garage waiting to be installed (spoiler, front splitter, skirts, diffuser, wheels, exhaust and CAI) and along the edges of the splitter, skirts and diffuser I am going to run an orange pin stripe to accent the car. Orange will also be used on the lugs and stripe decals on the wheels too.

The application is not final as you see there are imperfections in the layout but like I said toying with designs. Has anyone else done something similar?

Ha! Didnt think about that. Yeah, not a fan of Baseball much though. Orange is just a good compliment to Blue. One of my favorites is the Baby Blue and Orange on the old GT40s back in the day or Porsche.

Just trying to think of some different designs or placements... idk.

As much as you do not want to copy or use the GS stripes that may be your best option. I have seen many non GS Vettes with the stripes and they look good.

Thank you sir. The grey is at an off angle its more of a graphite grey that will later compliment the centennial competition grey wheels I have sitting in the garage for now. :0)
