Re: grand sport stripes

Not knocking your style or anything, but I dont understand the point? Makes it look like a mix-matched fender.

Re: grand sport stripes

I wanted to do this to my car so bad but i got alot of 50/50 feedback so i decided to pass. Looks good tho. Did you do both sides or just that one?

Yeah, I did both sides.... I've been getting a lot more positive feed back then negative, like 90/10. There only stickers so its no biggie but I'm really liking them for now.

for what i heard there was a race and a team was running two identicial Corvettes. They put the stripes on one of the vettes so they could tell them apart in a crowd.

As mentioned it was to easily identify who the drivers were in the orignal grand sport c2 race cars. As far as I know the GS cars were Zora's project. Or were you hoping I was going to say they came off of the '96 C4 'vette?
