Hash marks

[RobbyS]

Does anyone here have hash marks? If so, can you tell me what angle they're at, please?

This is the only one I can recall: http://www.sonicownersforum.com/forum/build-threads/1629-justicepetes-1-4t-ltz-hatch-build.html

One thing for sure: his will be correct.

You mean "rally stripes"?

I don't know the angel, I list tried a bunch of practice runs with some masking tape first.

Also, I don't much care for the ones that run all the way down to the wheel well. I don't think that works well on this car. I prefer to stop ant the fender line.

I just messed around with some friends and plastidip and this happened:

I took it off right after. I now plan on ordering and using carbon fiber vinyl for where the black is and red pinstripes for the red.

My apology for the lbove. I should have checked before posting it

But this link shows the Sonic Grand Sport stripes: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.413748538640429.114473.100000158585997&type=3pefully this works.

No problem...
I don't have Facebook, so I can't see that link.

At least you know there is a source for eyeing Grand Sport hash marks on a Sonic.

I must say I am inclined toward Pre's modification of the GS hash marks, but they may not be authentic. Here is a link to Corvette GS images: https://www.google.com/search?q=cor...kJILNggTTh4KgBw&ved=0CB8QsAQ&biw=1078&bih=488

I've always liked them on the Grand Sport corvettes. My grandpa has them on his and it I love how it looks.

I just ordered vinyl to do two hash marks on each side. I'm going with a silver under layer (like the red in my pic above) and carbon fiber for where the black is in that pic.

I'm not sure what "authentic" means in this context. They were not purchased from or sanctioned by GM. I just cut some vinyl I had laying around and had at it.

 

[laborsmith]

I think I meant the Corvette hash comes down to the ehrrl opening lip but given the very real difference between a Corvette and a Sonic fender's shape, I don't think "authentic" is correct.

Ahhhh, gotcha.

Yeah from hood to wheel well is about 3.5" on a Corvette. It's about 14" on a Sonic.

Dimensions embellished for dramatic effect.

I have these racing stripes with the hashes. Looks really good.
You can find these and order them online, just search "Chevy Sonic Euro Rally Graphic Kit" (I think that's the name).

I have these Euro style racing stripes with the hashes. Looks really good.

I thought about getting those hash marks, but didn't think the two different sizes would look good on my car. It looks good while matching your racing stripes though.
Here's my finished product:

I'm digging the hash marks... I have a while sedan and its screaming for some sort of graphics...

This is my rendition of the Grand Sport hash marks/stripes. I cut them out of some salvaged graphic material from a Case IH combine.

Nicely balanced!
