CRM GS Vert: color of fender stripes or none
My GS has no Heritage fender stripes and is CRM TC and it's hard to determine color of stripes or leave them off. My other GS had white w/Red car, looked okay, but the darker red...maybe drk silver?
I know the stripes are a matter for the owner, but color is hard to figure. I'm hot and cold on the stripes, however they do show the car to be GS. Sometimes I like them and I did see one CRM w/silver and looked good.
Any thoughts from other GS owners.

With CRM about the only color that really looks good is charcoal gray.

None. I don't like the stripes; I just think they don't look good. They seem like a tacked-on afterthought to me.
Ultimately you will have to decide what is right for you. I agree with the charcoal gray being a good color choice.

Stripe color is definitely subjective....
On CRM I'd go with either Silver or Grey. If you had the silver calipers, I might try and match that color.

Some good info on Hash Marks.
Nice review and good ordering info.
I'll probably go with gmPartshouse.com for $364 set of Grays...maybe!
They match my Vert top I believe / spoilers, etc
Thanks everybody for the thoughts.

My GS came with them from the factory as a dealer installed option. I found them in the trunk, they're silver.

Less is more. They are just add-on money makers.

Whenever I'm just sitting alone in the garage admiring my Corvette I think to myself.... "You know what this car really needs? A big *** $20 sticker plaster right across the front fender"!
