Opinions Please
A buddy of mine suggested doing my rail covers in red, with no hash marks and white lettering.
His thoughts are the contrast would look better.
Would welcome the groups opinion.
Thanks,
Larry

Wow, super sharp looking! Your friend may be on to something — maybe you could photoshop your current fuel rail colors red. May look good, even with white GS stripes in place of the red — just reverse all colors. I’d be interested in seeing the difference. Keep us up to date which direction you go.

Looks good that way. Would it look better in red fuel rail covers (FRC) and leaving everything else white, I don't know.
I personally wouldn't spend money changing the fuel rail covers from the white to red.

Wow! I like what I see there with the fuel rails, but I don't know what to make of the rest in white with logos galore.
But who am I to be such a critic. I wonder if I went too far with my 60th Anniversary logos.

You've missed an opportunity to put a 60th Anniversary logo on the rear cargo mat and the rear sunshade?

I have no extra logos on the body. I might have considered a pair of 427 60th logos but they are priced more than their weight in gold.
Here is what I have in the trunk, compliments of the previous owner.

It's all in the eye of the beholder
Not overdoing a single color
I like the idea of the clean monochromatic look, and it's your car do what you want. My personal preference would be to reduce the amount of white. I would agree that red fuel rail covers with white lettering would help cut down on the too much white.......love the clean look, but to me, too much of a good thing with all the white.

My thanks to everyone for weighing in.
I realize of course that the final decision is mine but other’s thoughts are always welcomed!
I’m leaning towards red covers.
Going to play around with Photo Shop later and see.
Cost was mentioned earlier, $340 + $18 shipping down to Homestead, FL.

Follow up to my post in July.
I did go with the red covers - pic off the car is below.
UPS delivery scheduled for today.
Stay tuned for a picture when installed.

Those look good. I'm just wondering how those are going to look with all of the other pieces being white?
Did you buy a new set and have them painted red? Or did you paint the white ones red?
I guess it's more of a question if you don't like the look, can you put the white ones back on.

These are the white ones, so no, swapping them back is not an option.
I do think I’ll be okay with the red/white contrast.
I certainly hope so - LOL!
One other thing….the caps are red so I think that would help with the colors.

I’ve got to laugh, guys.
When I looked at the pictures before shipping, I thought the vendor made a mistake on the “A” in Grand Sport.
I was sure the inverted V was a mistake.
The vendor assured me this is how the C6 Grand Sport is spelled.
Looking at pictures of C6 decals confirmed it.
It’s the C7 that uses the standard “A”.
