Question for those users... Are the stripes a topic of conversation with passerby folks at fuel stops and intersections and parking lots?.. Are you answering inquiries about the hash stripes.?.. Is it a topic about your car?

I much prefer the "clean look", or at least a very subtle color combo. Having said that, I really, really like the flat black stripes down the middle of my GS CE. The bottom line? It's not my call. Make it yours.

Nope, never had anyone ever bring them up.

I actually do get asked about them often. When I was driving out to get my car I thought they would be the first thing I took off. After seeing it in person I thought they looked ok, and other people do comment on how they like them. As of today I think I'm going to take them off for the summer. If I miss them I'll spend the money on aftermarket ones.

The purple hash marks look the business! I admire your taste.

I had always wondered about putting them on mine after I did the widebody. Would have liked the look with competition gray stripes over orange, but decided painting the spoiler was enough.

i want to hear everyone’s opinion on hashmarks strips on Grand Sports.

BTW....my car is Torch Red and the strips are black.
I am in favor of any true GS running hash marks. But I don't like them on non-GS cars.

Better without, sorry. I strongly dislike purple on cars as well, lol.

It's cool if you like it! That's what matters!
