Default Hashes on a Stingray

has anyone added fender hash stripes to their C7. If so where did you purchase them and how was you experience with installation and quality of the product?

I'd say if you like them throw them on. It's all about what you like.

Or you could replace the Corvette signage with that of a Lambo or Ferarri so you could pretend you had one of those rather than pretend to have a Grand Sport. Think Big.

It's your car, put whatever you want on it - regardless of what some here say. The current hash marks are quite different from where they started, which were two stripes, not connected, on only one fender.

I personally think they look stupid on any C7 so they will never go on mine but I don't care what people do with their own cars.

Exactly. Do whatever you want to your car. Pimp it out to the max if that's what you like. It's a free country, at least for now.

I have had mine on way before the GS was even announced in the c7 platform. I like them as it ads a pop of color and to be even more different and wacky I only have it on the driver side... Call me crazy

Do it. Your car, your payments, your stripes. Hell add Z06 badges if you want to. But, be ready for some diehards that have other opinions.

You're the only one that has to like the look since you're paying for the car. BTW, I think the hashmarks would look good on the car.

Nothing like carrying a discussion to the absurd.


It's a stripe. It doesn't even match the original hash marks that were applied to one side of the car.


The lack of simple respect for others' taste on this forum is truly epic. Maybe some of you guys should spend more time sitting on the front porch in your Hawaiian shirts, white socks and sandals yelling at kids on your grass than surfing the internet sharing your narrow-minded opinions.

Exactly. My car, I like the hashes. Vettestripes.com, very happy with them. I only put them on one side since I like the asymmetric look.

had hashes on my Corvette before I even knew what a grand sport was. I'm not a Vette guy I just like the way they look. I actually had a vinyl company work with me so we cut several different colors and I put them all on to see what I liked. I ended up with a ghost black metallic on gray

They look great. Where did you get them? Are you happy with the quality of product and ease of installation? Thanks very much.

you should go one step further and add Z06 fender badges too, then people will think you have the all new Corvette Stingray Grand Sport Z06......Mind Blown!
