I've decided to add a black side stripe to my yellow '73 1.7L. I'm going with the positive stripe to keep it period correct and ordered a pair from AA. In the day, when these were applied by a dealer was there a standard placement position for the stripe? Specifically, how many inches above the rocker panel was it applied? Also, how far forward or back on the door should the PORSCHE lettering be (guess this depends on the length of the decal)?
Thanks, M |

So, in essence, they can be placed wherever you wish. I did a positive stripe within months of getting my '72. Placed it about an inch from the bottom edge, so it wouldn't blend too much with the black rockers - but that was my choice. Later, switched to negatives (which I like better), but placed it about the same area. Both are long gone. Put it where you like - there are no guidelines that I know of. However, I have been proven wrong a time or two. Pat |

Seriously doubt that the factory shipped any with stripes. Though, I've been proven wrong before. Pat |
