"Hash"ing question
Just bought a white vette with Grand Sport paint scheme albeit in White, Black stripe and red hash marks. I love the looks of it, especially looking at the driver's side. The red hash marks and red brake calipers look great. Only thing is, the passenger side looks bland, and I'm considering having the hash marks put on passenger fender. However, I dread the numerous comments I'll get by the purist, "you know, they're only supposed to be on the driver fender".

If it was my car, and I liked them I wouldn't have a problem adding them to the passenger side.

I might eventually put black hash marks on my green car on both sides, so who cares. As for the purist... LOL that means boring or plain Jane to me.
The only reason not to touch a car is if it is not yours, in a museum, or worth more being untouched.
Your C4 is already unconventional in many ways so make the car make you happy.

There may be some sort of hash table we can reference to find out what is acceptable for this...
Really, one of local people has a new GS in the bright red color and had white hash vinyls installed on both fenders and it looks good. Worst case is that you don't like it and remove them.

I copied another members photo and did a little tweaking to see what I liked. And I like it!

I personally think anyone that has the nerve to walk around and play expert with someone elses car is a little wacko and deserves a good sock to the head . Listen to them? Hell no.

Yep, I'm going to do it. you all gave me my answer..... If it's pointed out that it's not a correct GS theme, answer is.....it's not a GS!! 
I like it. I think a white car needs a little something IMHO....previous owner I think really had the right idea with the GS theme, I just like the red hash so much I want it on both sides, so both sides it is. Thanks all for your input.

I think the very last C4 was arctic white, red guts and red hash marks. I'm almost positive it rolled out that way.
You could try this. I have red on the C4 but don't have a good pic, same location as on my wife's C6

So how was the drive home from Minnesota? I thought that car would look awesome in my driveway with my 88 35th Anniversary but just couldn't swing it right now. My vote leave it alone but it isn't my car so I really have no say in it. If you want it on both sides go for it.
Don't tell my wife!!
