Unless you are asking about hash marks and those owners are just LGBTQ.

If you are talking about the hash marks on the front fenders, then they look good on the C7 IMO.

Sometimes I'm actually kinda glad my GS doesn't have the hash marks. I thought they looked really cool and like the whole "heritage package" thing, but then I see Camaro's, Mustangs, Subaru's, Honda's, etc with them and change my mind.

Never understood the heritage thing as Zora's '63/'64 Grand Sports did not have fender strips!

Even the Poster GM sent when I bought my 2017 didn't have them!

Maybe it's just a nod to racing in general?

Looks like side stripes don't belong on a Corvette! Thanks for your input everyone

Please, please, please - no side stripes. This isn't a Ford Taurus.

It’s a Corvette not a Dodge. With the exception of Grand Sport “fender” stripes, the only stripes that belong on it are straight up and over the middle.

If you are referring to hash marks, I'm ok with them with the traditional Grandsport color scheme, however don't care for them otherwise.

Why care what anyone else thinks? It's your car; put pink and yellow polka-dots if YOU like!

I have added a bit if red striping at bottom of aero package (1/4") and also to edge the white stripe down the center of the car (1/8"). I dont have pic of targa top...but its striped as well. This isnt for everyone I know. For me..car needed something. My father retired from Corvette Assembly and worked in the paint department. He talked me in to edging the center white stripe with the red pin stripe. I'm glad he did.
