Are you talking about the GS hashes? Unless your car is a GS don't do it.

On another thread, you said you already bought the hash marks for $6.00.
I can't wait to see what they look like!

I just wanted to update everyone I installed my Ebay Fender Stripes today. I was really surprised at the quality on the vinyl. I put the fender stripes on the left side and was not sure. I then started adding my Pep Boys pin stripping. First I added one color than another still not liking it. I called my neighbor over and he said add the other color. We both stood back ant at the same time said get them off. Well all together I was only out $12.00 you live and learn.

Too bad it didn't work out.
I'd still like to see a photo, or two, of your 'vette.
You've never posted even one.

Now that was funny!
But those are the $2.50 hash marks. Bill K had the $6.00 ones, so they must of been better!

Man it is your car do as you please. GS or not. I have seen the hash marks on Dodge Challengers, Dodge trucks and even on some Camaro's as well as other cars. Granted it was originally on the Corvette races cars in the early 60's so the mechanic's knew which car was which. Then they reappeared in the 96 Grand Sport, then again with the 2010 GS. Although they were an option. All GS, did not come with the stripes.

Please slow down you are not making sense. I noticed this a little bit ago. I hope you are O.K. please try to think before you move your fingers. All right you got me my $6.00 Fender Stripes and $4.00 Pep Boys Pin striping did not work out. I have received a couple Photos of other GS owners and I must say they work. But Color Means Everything If you know what I mean

Maybe you chose the wrong color?
White always looks good if you know what I mean.
