The best place to get them from is www.afterthoughtsauto.com (who is a sponsor) not some others who "borrow" their product ideas.

#1) My car isnt a vette.
#2) Do what you think looks good. I think those that like the "plain" look are plain themselves, but everyone has an opinion.

#3) The new Z06's have the fender stripes on both sides of the car.

#4) Who really cares? lol

its your car, so do as you like, but honestly, if those striped didnt come on the grand sport id find them to be the most random, awkward things ive ever seen. to me, i only like them on a grand sport, or maybe even a new wannabe GS made from a c5 or c6. i dont see a point to having them on anything else.

now, ill bet youre gonna try to explain to me why you want them, and thats great, like i said, its your car, do as you want, but this is my opinion.

I agree that the stripes belong on a Corvette, but they do look nice on some cars. guess it depends on the color of the car to me. in the end, do what YOU want to do!

Gotta agree....and technically 'Vettes didn't start this, old Le Mans race cars like the FORD Cobra had them so people could tell what class they were in.

But hey, a kid with an Integra around here has them....

Here's mine i've had them for about 4 years now and some people like and some dont. I dont really care but IMO they are over played now so mine are coming off time for something new.
