Default Long Beach Red - Hashmark

I was doing some searching but couldn't find any thread where I could see a lot of pictures of Long Beach Red C7's. I probably missed it/them, so if you know of any links, please let me know.

My new C7 doesn't have hashmarks, but I am considering having them added, but I want something subtle on that dark red car.

Any suggestions or photos you can share?

Try a "google" search, "Long Beach Red Corvette pictures". There should be a ton out there. IMHO, subtle on the LBR would be the gray, or carbon flash. Good luck on your decision.

Here is mine with gray:





Van Bortel has one in stock with gray hash marks and black interior:

There are a few pics out there of LBR with black hash marks, but you need to think about wheels, stinger and other trim, will move you out of the subtle range quickly. When I picked up mine at NCM, I saw one with black hash marks, stinger and wheels, looked nice, but glad I got the gray.

I believe hash marks are better suited for some Corvette colors than others.
Your colors are limited for LBR and not sure they really add much to the car's overall beauty.

I think black would look classy on LBR, plus tie into all the carbon flash accents.

I thought it interesting that almost none of the Grand Spots in the LBR picture thread had hashmarks.

I agree, I have searched google and through the LBR thread on this forum, and few of the LBR cars have any hashmarks.

I actually like torch red hash marks on LBR. It ties together nicely with the flags emblem and the red "Grand Sport" in the fender vent.

I have a LBR GS, and was considering black hashmarks, I'll think about it some more over the winter as maybe a spring addition.

I like paint too, but if I put them on and end up not liking them, vinyl can be removed.

That probably tells us something.

That's right, if you're really set on getting hash marks apply what you think will look best and if you don't like, peel it off and try another.
