Fender Decals placement question
I am thinking of putting the 2 fender decals on my red vette. Do the decals come with a template of where they go. Also what color do you recommend for a red convert. does anyone have any pictures of these decals on a red convert. Thanks Jim

I assume from your question that you are referring to the Grand Sport hash marks on the driver's side fender?

Since these decals were never offered on the C5 from the plant- I don't think there is a "proper exact placement". Look at photos of the '96 Grand Sport and use that as a guide - but remember that the '96 did not have a hood separate from the fenders and that the fenders are a different shape.
Here are some good quality pics to get an idea.....

The OP did not ask for opinions on how they look or if he should....just where should they be positioned.

I spent $30.00 for a pair from a Corvette vendor and after about 30 min. of trying to make them work, I tossed them away. The curvature of the fender vs. the flat decal just was not going to work without winkles. Better to mask it off and shoot it in the color of your choice and then clear coat the entire fender.

As for the color, black or silver would look good on a red car.
