They look pretty cool, a subtler version of the Gen 1 Camaro "bumblebee stripes" around the front end.

I've also heard that they help to guide the drivers through turns by lining the stripes up with marks on the track. Or am I bluffing?

Default what about ghost flames?

I'm thinking of having those painted on my '71 when it goes to the paint shop. It used to be stock, no more.Got one of those Edelbrock 350's w/ 435hp/435tq,VBP Ultra suspension,new brakes,etc. Went 1st class, now I'm REALLY gonna enjoy this! LOL


BTW, those hash marks look cool!

If you had ever pitted a car you would know the only thing you see coming is the front of the car in gran-sport they usually dont have radios so that lets that out, but the hash marks are great for A two car teams.
