GS stripes belong, oddly enough, on grand Sports. Those stripes celebrated the heritage of the orignal Grand Sport Corvettes... something your car has absolutely no connection to. I'm not even a fan of them on non-GS corvettes, but they're completely out of place on a non-corvette.

Just my opinion.

Dont know if that was directed to me or rs/z28, but for the record. The stripes on my car are not considered GS stripes. They are custom done by me. I just thought he might want to see what some stripes look like on a camaro. Oh yeah, the blue on my camaro is viper blue, which I dont portray it to be a viper either. although in the near furture will be pushing 450hp.

Do you even know what GS stripes are? They are 2 small hash marks over the left front fender. Absolutely nothing like your stripes. I think stripes like yours can look pretty good on the right car since they aren't a cheesy rip-off of some specific application.

Really, No. I thought they were the 2 small stripes that ran the length of the car that I have seen on some vettes. But I do understand now that it is the ones on the fender. not to fond of them either. I would not do it on a 3rd gen either.
