Those racks for the t-tops on the wall are cool too. What did you use for those?

Not the same thing. Rookie stripes, where utilized, typically go on the rear.

I say again, these hash marks are not rookie strips.

Found a website that sells the Ron Fellows hash marks in any color you want (like 7t2vette has on his machine). Can't post the link but just do a google search for " C6 Ron Fellows 2 color stripes kit." That will get you there for those that are interested.

I then contacted this company and asked them if they could make me a set a little longer, and they did.

This is who made them for GM: http://www.corvettekidz.com/

You can buy actual GM stripes from any GM dealer or: http://www.gscreationsllc.com/produc...roducts_id/435

I like the look of the hash marks on the C3s'. 7t2vette coupe looks killer with them.

Very nice all, thanks for the pics.

Looks good on Corvettes! Is it only me or do some of the rest of you think that Dodge must have seen the hash marks on Corvettes and is
now using them as their logo? They are even trying to promote their
SUV's as "racers"!!!!!

This is the first Vette I've ever seen them on and I love 'em. Hell I love that car too. I have noticed seeing them all over Dodge commercials lately.
