Nope, just the '96 Grand Sport had them from the factory:



However, many aftermarket companies sell them for most years.

You can put them on any year or model. I've had them on mine for years.

Why are they only on one side? I would think it would look better if they were on both front fenders.

Default stripes

The stripes were originally on the 63 grand sport and were (correct me if i am wrong) originally duct tape stripes because they needed to destinguish two different grand sports on the track, one had one stripe the other had two....

I think they only look good on Arctic White (red ones) The other colors don't work for me....

Also, doesn't the Ron Fellows Limited Edition C6 come with them factory?
