Keep LT4 hash or get blackbird stripes?
Hey guys,
Ive had my lt4 hash for quite some time now ... and have gotten MANY compliments on how awesome they look. Should I take them off and get blackbird stripes? .. or keep the hash?
Here is my car NOW:
Look at that MULLET!!!!!!!!! (dont worry its trimed up now haha)
BLACKBIRD STRIPES (thanks to huntr1117)

lt4 stripes = grans sport stripes

The Grand Sport stripes go back to before the LT4, to the original GS Corvettes of the 60s so with all the blue cars on the track, spotters and teams could keep track of "their" cars. But now that history class is over...lol
I say bring the blackbird stripes up onto the hood more. The inlets arent as pronounced on your TA as they are on the LS1 cars. And bringing it up onto the hood will give you a little "more" look so to speak. Just run another 1/8" - 3/16" stripe as an accent, and give it the same spacing to the "main" stripe (think SS stripes) and that'll look better.

unfortunately, people are putting those stripes on cars where they dont belong. if you have an lt4, then id say that your car is one of the few cars that CAN have them rightfully.
on the other hand, why not go clean and without all vinyl? just an idea.

thanks for the compliments. seems as though the voting is split in half! and no, it is not electrical tape lol. I bought a 2x2 sheet of black vinyl from the local vinyl shop. that is what I used for the stripes. I can have some bb stripes made up for me, and try em out for a change. If i dont like them, its not a big loss, I still have more vinyl for hash
