Ok well I thought the grand sport only had a single line on the fender so maybe these are a little off...(I just kept the pic from when I was looking at wheels) The car belongs to someone on the board don't remember who tho...

I'm not sure that it works for me. To me, only a Grand Sport should look like a Grand Sport, but if you're going to copy it, it should at least be on another Corvette. The Camaro has nothing to do with the Grand Sport Heritage. Just my opinion though.

Actually the Grand Sport did have two stripeson the fender but they were red, along with one white racing stripe and the colour is Admiral blue.

That sounds right...I believe it was an RS but now has the looks of a Z along with a TPI and is in the 13s?
