Re: Clones..... (JohnnyRed)
If its on an LT1 i'm not too crazy about it, but if someone wants to paint an early C4 that way then it doesnt bother me.

Re: Clones..... (JohnnyRed)
mixed feelings here. to pass it off as a GS when it isn't, i'm against. but to give a vette the look, like the yellow one w/ black stripe on this forum for instance, i like. a blue vette w/ stripe & hash marks is cool, but don't claim it's a GS. a GS is a GS is a GS. even tho i have an LT4 i wouldn't dream of trying to pass it off as a GS.

I don't know how many times I'd heard"All you need is the stripe, hash marks and badges and you're a GS"Uhhhh Noooooo it's still a '90 :D. Quite simply, if I wanted a GS, I'd buy one.

Who cares? It is their car. If they want to look stupid, let them.:smash: :smash: Intelligent minds know a fake from the real thing. :yesnod:

Bring on a "REAL" GS, and I will hand him his azz! I at least do not try to lie, and pass my car off as the real thing.

Dude, do what you want its your car.
Forget the silly rules that some people make. "Dont do this, dont do that..." Alot of people told me dont put a stripe, dont do ground effects, dont put GS emblems.. but look what I did. I dont listen very well. :sleep: I am very happy with it and enjoying it..life is too short.
