I was never happy with the negative phoenix red (orange) side stripes placed on my LE after the repaint- just a 1/2 ass job & 1/2 ass stickers (sorry George/AA but you earned that one), especially on such a nice repaint. Peeled em off & got myself 2 sets, 1 from AA & another off of evilbay. They both suck & & are not spaced right/scaled right or cut right. I know what they're supposed to look like, having been around the car for 40 yrs now & was going to take advantage of the warm weather this weekend to put them on. Well, that idea went up in smoke like the money I spent on the 2 sets I have lying around.
Pics below are before & after; right now she's bare white. Does anyone know a good source for these stripes? Attached image(s) |

I had a set for the Creamsicle that happened to be in the Car, in a pkg. when it burned to the ground. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
Id saved them (or what was left of them) all these yrs believing that they may have been OE parts. Recently when Wayne (Arcadeforever) popped up, I dug them out and sent them to him in hopes he could use them to accurately reproduce sets for both our LE cars & for general application. I'm not sure how far along he is in this process but perhaps he'll see the thread & chime in. |
