Does anyone have a file of stripes so I could run them through a plotter?

I see no reason we can't have this information on our forum.

Would be pretty cheap to have it cut compared to buying on the internet. Although that ebay link is cheap.

I'm pretty sure the main stripes are 4in. and the small stripes are 1/4 inch. but I don't know about the lengths of pieces.

You don't need to know that.. only the length of each piece you need.. there are lots of breaks in the stripe (nose opening, each grill section, seam to hood, windsheild..sunroof.. and so forth)

Agreed. Our front bumper is the same color as the car and it has a flat face, which leaves is as a great option for continuation of the stripe.

I like it. Curious who will be the first to either offset the stripes to one side.......or have different widths of each stripe........or both. Everyone doing this seems to to almost the same thing. I will NOT do it to my White SS but maybe I should try something different/new on my silver SC.

I did, it's just kind of hard to see them in the picture I guess.
