Whats up on the base c6s with grand sport fender stripes??? Secondly the ONLY go on the drivers side not both sides...

Ron Fellows started these and theyre only for grand sport corvettes.

I get a kick out folks dressing their cars up to look like something theyre not.

kind of like base c6s with z06 or grand sport fenders added. Kind of like a v6 mustang with gt stuff all over it.

just my two cents. Hopefully it is ok to say but come on seriously?

save some money and buy the actual car.

Some people like the look, and btw, Chevrolet put them on both sides of the GS as well. I've seen plenty come straight from the factory with stripes on both sides.

Even so, it's their car. If they like it who is anyone else to say whether or not they should do it, or HOW they should do it? Personally, I don't care what anyone thinks of how I've modded my car; I like it, and that's all that matters.

Now, for the obligatory pic for the thread to show my wheels:

TTT for all those who aren't aware of this thread that own base c6's. Lets also open this up to those who have converted their base model to wide body fenders. Since this is an old thread, I would like to update with a picture of my current base model converted to widebody Z panels.

The only thing I like better than the Classic 5-spoke chrome wheels are the aftermarket chromed split spokes. Too bad GM never offered them in chrome.

TSW's, I like that they have a more positive offset than factory so tires are lined up perfect with fender, not good for lowering though.

I love my HRE's. I have upgraded to larger rotors since this photo was taken.
