Default Hash Marks

I am a the proud new owner of a 95LT1 triple black beauty. I have been poking around the forum and notice a few cars with hash marks on the left front fender. What's the deal? :confused:

Bah.. Rice Nothing. Its a subtle, pretty addition on almost any vette.
I get lots of compliments and I know plenty of people on this board who do too.

I am thinking of putting yellow hash marks on my 95 triple black along with some other minor yellow accents. What do ya think? Also, any suggestions on good yellow accents would be appreciated. :jester

I like hash marks. But the colors need to match up. Don't think yellow would look good. There is a black vette on here that had them painted on. Very subtle marks. It looks good. Very very dark purple color I believe.

See, that's what I'm talking about. ^^^^^^ Nice I like it.
would not look good if they were hot pink now would they. Picking the right colors is key. Some will never like them. They only believe it belongs on a GS because it's original. Whatever!
It's your vette do what you want.
Kinda like spouses. Some may not agree your other half is attractive, but oh well. We married them and they should not be treated any lesser because someone does not think they look good. Okay, enough. I'm starting to ramble...hehehe
Peace

I think they look really good on all vettes. And they are always conversation starters (i.e. "what do they signify" and "so they only made 5 of these?"" :lol: ). I agree with the others though, you may want to make them subtle, like Red on Admiral Blue :D
