Please help!
Need some information from you Grand Sport owners.
Well, just one Person would do it for me......
Why is it so hard to get some information about these hash mark dimensions...


Could somebody please be so kind and give me the exact mearsure data to the letters A - K shown by the arrows in the following picture.


Thanks ind advance,

Ingo

Okay, for all you other people, here is the pic including dimensions in inch as well as millimetres!

I did this previously for someone else. I just copied and pasted what I posted then. Hope it helps



OK, just went out to garage and this is what I came up with.

Width of front stripe, 5.75" at the top (hood)
widthe of front stripe, 6" at the bottom (wheel)
Width of rear stripe, 6 5/8" at the top
Width of rear stripe, 8 1/4" at the bottom
Width of border, 3/8"
Distance between stripes 7/8"

Hope that helps.

Post pics when your done, I want to see it

 

Thanks for your response, thought I'd never get the dimensions
I guess the hash marks start right at the border anyway, right?

So far so good, but could I make you walk to your garage again somehow and get me the length of the arrow A and arrow K so I get the right angles too?

Forgot somethting....to get the right angle I would need the length of the stripes (Arrows D,E,F,G) too

This is what we got:

A =
B = 6"
C = 8 1/4"
D =
E =
F =
G =
H = 6 5/8
I = 7/8"
J = 5.75"
K =

You can order these from www.vettestripes.com

Pretty inexpensive, they install very easily and are auto-grade vinyl..

 

I ordered them from the Dealer and them put em on, not pretty inexpensive
But they have the cool lil logo embedded in them

 

Only the best for NURC

 

This is the first time I've ever seen the phrase "auto-grade vinyl". You gave me a serious chuckle.

Back in the summer of '68 I was fortunate to be able to buy a '68 Camaro SS396. I was 18, had two jobs, worked more than I played etc.....it all went into the car. You know the story.

But....see, my car had painted on stripes. Back then, if you wanted pinstripes down the side of your car you got them painted on. Like the detailing on a custom motorcycle today.

Then, mid year '68 they changed the stripes on the SS model and brought it back down the side and well onto the door. The front part....to the front edge of the wheelwell , was paint. The rest, from the back side of front wheelwell on down the door was vinyl.

I recall how it seemed unbelievable at the time that such a nice car as a new Camaro could be cheapened so by having vinyl plastic tape stuck to it. The tape on the door got nicks or just bubbled on it's own in the sun.

Pretty soon....all that "expensive" paint was gone and all the stripes were vinyl. Now, I know, today, as you say...it's "auto-grade vinyl. But you have to understand why and just how hilarious that phrase is to an old guy like me.

This plastic tape is cheap and it's a cost saving measure to avoid using real paint. Now, having said that I think the hash marks are pointless and cheapen the look of the car.....and , apparently, this guy only wants to copy the ones on a "real" GS. It's his car but plastic tape is still plastic tape even forty years later.

If I just had to have these silly marks on a C6 I'd have them painted on by a professional.

 

I was wanting to get these painted, going for a conversion and the fenders need to get painted anyway

 

Gee, your posts never cease to give us all a chuckle.
If you dislike the GS and anything to do with it so much why even bother?
I will agree that copying them with some cheap vinyl do it yourself job is not what I would do.

 

Thank you HE deserves the best

 

How difficult were they to put on? I pickup up my GS on Saturday and still have mine in the truck, dealer wants me to go back for the install but was thinking of doing it myself. Was it difficult?

 

It took them about 20 minutes. I would not risk messing them up so I had their installer do it.

 

Absolutely

 

Why are you guys always changing subject so fast

I still need just a little more info...come on....it can't be that difficult to take some tape measure and get those dimensions I am still lookin for

 

Still need some more data, please, I'm in a hurry, help!

 

That's funny, 'cause I thought the OP asked for dimensions, not opinions.

 

Here are the measurements you asked for

A= 6
B= 6
C= 8.5
D= 12
E= 9 3/8
F= 9 3/8
G= 9 3/8
H= 6 5/8
I = 7/8
J = 5.75
K = 11
