Default Hash Marks

Ok Thankyou for directing me to the c6 discussion area. My question is I'm curious to know what cyber gray hash marks look like on a cyber gray c6 vette. Does anyone out there have this configuration

I am not sure why you would want the hash marks the same color as the body. You wouldn’t be able to see them. All you would probably see is the silver outline around the stripes.

To each his own I guess, but I like this look.

Thankyou for the info you sent about the hash marks I mentioned. I got to thinkin about that way myself but when I ordered the cyber gray marks I couldn't tell how they would look as they were wrapped in a blue film. So I returned them thinking the same thing you thought and ordered the Blade silver color. I've seen them on other vehicles with the ebony interior with the light gray seat inserts . I would have gone to red had I had red interior. Thanks again for your input.

But what do I know? Beauty is in somebodies eye.
There are enough clowns putting them on their cars these days.
I guess if you enjoy looking like you're driving a Charger or Camaro...

The hash marks are stock. They make it a Stock C6 Grand Sport. IMHO they really make the car look special.

I like the hash marks!
Who cares. If you like it go for it

I'm sure some aren't going to like my orange calipers/black wheels.

Default Hash Marks 2010 GS

Thanks to those with the positive input and I appreciate the negative as well. It's true eyes of the beholder, and different strokes for different folks. I like the hash mark I personally think it gives the Vette a real sporty look as well to bring out the sexy curves of America's first sports car a few years later. Stiatt. a pic.

You should go with "ghosted" hash marks, similar to ghosted stripes....very subtle...less is more type of deal.

This reminds me of:

The Sneetches, by Dr. Seuss
Now, the Star-Bell Sneetches had bellies with stars.
The Plain-Belly Sneetches had none upon thars.
Those stars weren’t so big. They were really so small.
You might think such a thing wouldn’t matter at all.

But, because they had stars, all the Star-Belly Sneetches
Would brag, “We’re the best kind of Sneetch on the beaches.”
With their snoots in the air, they would sniff and they’d snort
“We’ll have nothing to do with the Plain-Belly sort!”
And, whenever they met some, when they were out walking,
They’d hike right on past them without even talking.

When the Star-Belly children went out to play ball,
Could a Plain Belly get in the game? Not at all.
You only could play if your bellies had stars
And the Plain-Belly children had none upon thars.

When the Star Belly Sneetches had frankfurter roasts
Or picnics or parties or marshmallow toasts,
They never invited the Plain-Belly Sneetches
They left them out cold, in the dark of the beaches.
They kept them away. Never let them come near.
And that’s how they treated them year after year.

Then ONE day, it seems while the Plain-Belly Sneetches
Were moping and doping alone on the beaches,
Just sitting there wishing their bellies had stars,
A stranger zipped up in the strangest of cars!

“My friends”, he announced in a voice clear and clean,
“My name is Sylvester McMonkey McBean.
And I’ve heard of Your troubles. I’ve heard you’re unhappy.
But I can fix that, I’m the Fix-It-Up Chappie.

I’ve come here to help you.
I have what you need.
And my prices are low. And I work with great speed.
And my work is one hundred per cent guaranteed!”

Then, quickly, Sylvester McMonkey McBean
Put together a very peculiar machine.
And he said, “You want stars like a Star-Belly Sneetch?
My friends, you can have them for three dollars each!”

“Just pay me your money and hop right aboard!”
So they clambered inside. Then the big machine roared.
And it klonked. And it bonked. And it jerked. And it berked.
And it bopped them about. But the thing really worked!
When the Plain-Belly Sneetches popped out, they had stars!
They actually did. They had stars upon thars!

Then they yelled at the ones who had stars at the start,
“We’re still the best Sneetches and they are the worst.
But now, how in the world will we know”, they all frowned,
“If which kind is what, or the other way round?”

Then up came McBean with a very sly wink.
And he said, “Things are not quite as bad as you think.
So you don’t know who’s who. That is perfectly true.
But come with me, friends. Do you know what I’ll do?
I’ll make you, again, the best Sneetches on the beaches.
And all it will cost you is ten dollars eaches.”

“Belly stars are no longer in style”, said McBean.
“What you need is a trip through my Star-Off Machine.
This wondrous contraption will take OFF your stars
so you won’t look like Sneetches that have them on thars.”
And that handy machine working very precisely
Removed all the stars from their tummies quite nicely.

Then, with snoots in the air, they paraded about.
And they opened their beaks and they let out a shout,
“We know who is who! Now there Isn’t a doubt.
The best kind of Sneetches are Sneetches without!”

Then, of course, those with stars got all frightfully mad.
To be wearing a star was frightfully bad.
Then, of course, old Sylvester McMonkey McBean
invited THEM into his Star-Off Machine.

Then, of course from THEN on, as you probably guess,
Things really got into a horrible mess.

All the rest of that day, on those wild screaming beaches,
The Fix-It-Up Chappie kept fixing up Sneetches.
Off again! On again! In again! Out again!
Through the machines they raced round and about again,

Changing their stars every minute or two. They kept paying money.
They kept running through until the Plain nor the Star-Bellies knew
Whether this one was that one or that one was this one. Or which one
Was what one or what one was who.

Then, when every last cent of their money was spent,
The Fix-It-Up Chappie packed up. And he went.
And he laughed as he drove In his car up the beach,
“They never will learn. No. You can’t Teach a Sneetch!”

But McBean was quite wrong. I’m quite happy to say.
That the Sneetches got really quite smart on that day.
The day they decided that Sneetches are Sneetches.
And no kind of Sneetch is the best on the beaches.
That day, all the Sneetches forgot about stars and whether
They had one, or not, upon thars.

I think they look best when they tie in the brake calipers and offer a bold contrast to the body color paint.



Your car would look great with red, pearl white or silver but I would not do cyber gray stripes. Too monochromatic!

Here's white on red. You might want to try red or silver on yours. I think they're cool. Go for it.

I finally decided to do matte black hash marks with my CG. I chose Matte Black as i am in the process of going with all blackouts and thought it would look better with the look i was going after. Hope this helps.

I like them... Gives the car a sporty flash of colour and of course it's a personal thing...if you like them put them on and if you really like them put them on the back too...and if you don't like them leave them off..just don't sneek out in the parking lot and take them off someone else's car....LOL

I personally like them have my Blade Silver with the Cyber Grey Hash Marks. Grand Sport Tradition. Definitely don't think it cheapens it and I have people all the time ask me if it is a special Corvette... it is... it is mine!
