Sorry dude, exclusive club...

I have seen many too and I'm getting some, it's cool don't you think?
What do you guys think would be a good stripe color on an arctic white?

Prolly black huh?

Is this what you all call a hijack? If so, sorry!

They were originally on the '63 Grand Sport's and again on the '96 Grand Sports's. There was a purpose for them in '63, in '96 it was probably just commemorating the '63. Im sure someone else will chime in and give you more info.

Forgot to mention they are also on the Ron Fellows edition '07 Z06.
