Not a fan of the hash marks on the rear quarter panels, but it is different.

yes...in general, the front fender hash mark was/is used to tell the guys in the pit which car is which, the amt of stripes signaled a certain car - 2, 3 4 stripes. The stripe that Chev uses on their GS is two stripes. You can put it anywhere but the "proper" place is the front fender:

Mine currently, I like the stripe but want it to be subtle and key off the stinger, same color and material as my carbon flash stinger::
another color that did not make the cut:

^^^ Thanks for sharing the info and beautiful car. When I bought the stripes, I was going to put at front quarter, but when I try it on the rear I felt in love.

Personally don't like the placement...
They go a little further back than the C6... Every manufacture may tag the stripes (hash marks, war stripes, Grand Sport stripes, pit stripes, FIA stripes, etc.) in their history somewhere, but the origin can mostly be connected with Cobra and Corvette racing in the early '60s as a means for identification; and were installed on the front fenders.
