Default Z06 Hashmarks -- Whatcha think?

Just added some black hashmarks to my TR Z06. Felt like it needed "something" or maybe it was just to make it feel more at home next to the GS. Used vinyl decal as a test, cut down so that both stripes are the same width. I may eventually do it in paint once I decide on the exact width and angle I like best.

Opinions? Comments?

Hutch,
Very Nice, although I need to know where you got those....I have been waiting since before Thanksgiving for mine. I ordered them from Eklers and they are telling me they are having problems with the vendor....Let me know....

Merry Christmas,
Neal

:seeya :seeya

I say no...but you're more than entitled to do as you please. Those GS's yearn for that Z06 badge :)

Neal -- Hate to say it, but I got them at Eckler's last Saturday. But you're looking for RED ones, right? Maybe those are the ones on backorder.

Jeff -- The GS has plenty enough heritage to stand on its own merits. Two completely different cars and I love 'em both for different reasons. They don't compete for my affection, only garage space. :)

Yes - but a little thinner, and a little further forward. And, imho, blue or white would be better, but that's just me, so just fuhgeddaboudit!

Good point, Steve. I applied them using the template that came with the kit but I agree, I think they should be centered over the wheel and at a sharper angle. I considered other colors but with the black top and red/black interior, it seemed like black stripes were the best choice. They are still quite a bit wider than original GS hashmarks so maybe a bit narrower would look better, too. At least with tape you can experiment! Thanks. :cheers:
