    Default Paint Question

    Has anyone painted GS style stripes on a white C4? I'd love to see pics of it...


    Thanks

    There a lots of GS-like striped cars out there.

    Here's mine:


    All paint - white diamond with radar blue stripe and torch red hashes. ZR1 wheels and GS flares.

    love it... I also never thought the side stipes would add so much...


    your car is beautifull


    P.S. I wonder if the center stripe went all the way down...if that made it look much different.

    Thanks.

    I've had it both ways - center stripe all the way down the nose and this way. I'll keep it this way for now. The white doesn't show chips as bad as the blue did. And, it's enough different from the "real" grand sports and other GS-lookalikes that it stands out.

    At a closer look it looks like you also have the GS fender flairs on the back wheels...am I right?

    If so how do they look on white? I am thinking of geting them, but I have no idea how noticable they will be on a light colour vette.

    thanx

    That's what I said - GS flares. I can't complain.

    Unless you're using the ZR1 offset wheels (11"), or some other wheel that sticks out, I wouldn't bother with the flares. If they are not covering the tire, they can look out of place!

    Are these stripes painted on the car or vinyl?
