Default my attempt at hash marks

i know there is alot of mixed emotions when it comes to putting GS hash marks on a non GS car, i had them on my 84, and thought they looked good, and i wanted them on my 90, but in this day, and age i have to cut some un-needed expenses, and i have a vinyl plotter, adn decided to give it a go to see how it turned out, i don't think it turned out too bad, there is some bubbles that i need to get out

you did a good job, but they are not of the same size and location as are on the actual Grand Sports.

The top of the stripes are supposed to "fold over" the body crease at the top of the fender, and the stripes are supposed to be cut off just above the lip of the fender wheelwell.

(google 1996 Grand Sport Hash Marks, click on Images, go to the bottom of page 4)

You can get the OEM ones at the dealer for $42, which isn't too bad.

Not too bad for homemade! I like the color too. If I ever do mine I will use red to match the interior.

Your work looks good, BTW....
