Original stripe size

Featured Replies

I was wondering what size are the dealer(?) fitted stripes down the side of the 240Z's are? what the spaces between the stripes are, how big the large and small stripes are and how big are the letters/numbers?

I am going to replicate something like it for my 2+2 in black, just for some contrast! But im going to put '260z' between the door and rear wheel arch.

Cheers!

Here's a shot of the stripe that Motorsport sells. It is supposedly a reproduction of the original.

The reproductions don't look as nice as the originals, imo

Just thought I'd let you know that the ones from Graphic Design are an exact copy of the factory stripes. They look great and the service from GD was excellent. I had a small sample of an original stripe and matched it up against the GD product. It's perfect.

The ones from Motorsports aren't factory matches. The width of the lines is not correct.

OK......so what is the correct width?

Thanks,

That's 'Graphic Express' which is the same link Craig posted earlier. I am familiar with them and have bought merchandise from them in the past. You threw me and apparently montoya fan01 also by refering to it as 'Graphic Design'.

Ok, got my Z back from the shop today:classic:It looks great! Anyway, here's the width of the stripes. Both top and bottom are 1/4 in and the center stripe is 2 inches. The overall stripe is just a shade over 3 inches, maybe 3 1/8. The motorsport stripe is the same overall width but the the top bottom and middle are different widths than the original design.

Sorry about the mix up in names. It is Graphic Express.

Hope this helps
