^^^^X2 it looks super clean without the stripes. But I favor GS stripes on a GS, never was a fan of putting them on other cars.

Thanks for all the compliments! I bought the stripes off ebay just typed in "Fender Hash Stripes" or something like that lol....some people love them some hate them but I really like them and its something different that I havent really seen on any other GXP's..... this kid that lives in my town has a Silver GXP and he saw the stripes he went and bought them for his car lol

That thing is perfection. I absolutely love these cars in white. My wife saw it and now I think I might be able to sell her on putting some admiral striping on ours too lol.

Looking good! What do those strips mean? I've seen them on E bay and on autocross cars.

I believe they are supposed to be on the driver side only and originally came on road race vettes. I want to say it was used to identify the cars apart since they would have 2-3-4-5 different car out on a track all done up exactly the same on the outside. gM brought the stripes into production on the 96 Grand Sport edition of the Vette. They haven't been run on another car until this year when GM brought the Grand Sport back, and I believe they run them on the driver side fender as they use to do. Also some kits you can get (I've seen) have the stripes being staggered in size. Either front or rear stripe is bigger then the other one, not sure how that came about.
