Default Z06 GS (Ron Fellow's) fender stripes, pictures inside.

These are from vendor mike76002 and while I'm not a big fan of stripes I decided to get them.

Special thanks to Reid (bone daddy) for answering my call and given me some pointers with installation.

Here are the pics, enjoy.

They look OK but...they don't look like Ron Fellows stripes. There's something missing!

Yes, I agree. I should've said RF style, since they are not exact. My main point was that one stripe is wider than the other. Since I have not seen a RF in person I don't know if they are like that.

Yes indeed they are grand sport stripes, sorry about the confusion.

A nice look for a change of pace that won't break the bank either. And if and when you ever get tired of them you can easily remove them.

Your Vette looks terrific! I like how the stripes match the calipers.

Damn, seems every day someone is getting black wheels, red calipers, and red GS stripes on their black 'vette, I'm not so original anymore

Sweet ride though, I love it!

Hey great job Martin....your car is looking schweet!

Glad I could help. What was weird was..... there I was at the Space City Corvettes Big Bash last Saturday....... talking to Big Bollas about the vinyl job on his car........ and here comes your phone call (from the right coast) about vinyl. Too damn funny!

Mike Fellows stripes look much better and so completed to cover the whole fender

Looks cool, Martin - I'd consider the black ones on my car. Maybe silver would look cool too.

I like the look of those, but does anyone know the history of the GS stripe? Why 2 stripes? Why the left front fender? Is there a story behind them? They do look
