Default '13 GS Vert Nite Race Blue Metallic Hash Marks?

Trying to decide what color hash marks to put on my car. Looking for some photos of cars same color as mine with the stripes.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Tom. Right now that is what I've been thinking. Hope to see some pictures before I order.

Default My NRBM w/ Red hash marks.

Here is a picture of my Night Race Blue Metallic Grand Sport, with Red hash marks. It should be pointed out that my GS came with Red painted brake calipers from the factory. So, this definitely influenced my decision to use the Red hash marks. Just thought you might like to see it.

I also think Blade Silver, (code 17U) looks very good on your body color.

EDIT: -- Found this photo.

match what ever color your calipers or wheels are like the red calipers above. I matched my wheels because I felt comp gray would look better than silver on inferno orange.

Thanks everyone for the photos and input. Great idea to match calibers, unfortunately mine are not painted.
Hameister, I think your photo sealed the deal.. I'm going withe the blade silver.

Did you guys install your own? Is it difficult, should I have body shop install? I found oem, not in original packaging for $250.00 on e-bay. Seller has 99% positive feedback and I have exchanged some e-mails with him, so I feel o.k. buying from him. Just not sure about installing.

I bought mine from the same guy and I found him to be a great seller and the product to be fine. I had a local body guy help me with mine. I'm a hands on guy most of the time but for $20.00 each I didn't want to gamble screwing away $250. He had to work them awhile with a heat gun but they came out perfect IMO.

Unless you've done this before, and feel confident, have a good body shop do the installation.

A few years ago, the hash marks would be delivered to the dealer inside the car, and the dealer would install them.
However, there were so many customer complaints, and warranty issues, that protocol was changed and Bowling Green started installing them. That should give you some idea.

Also, if you want to be certain you're getting the real deal, look for the small crossflags in the upper corner of the hash marks, on BOTH sides.
If there's no crossflags, it's not O.E.M.

See photos...good luck!

Thanks in advance.
Check my garage photos. I have Night Race Blue Metallic and Pearl White Stripes. The Pearl White pops off the dark blue! I love it.
