Wasn't sure but after looking at website I see they only show gloss black available. But not sure I would call them gloss black like on the 71 R/T Challengers. I don't think any of the Challengers I had in the past had stripes that were really glossy, and I like it that way. So what is correct? Also, regarding placement, should the top part of the stripe be placed right along that 'crease' on the body line or slightly below, as they are currently? Pic below for reference. Thanks for the replies Last edited by MONC; 07/25/24 07:15 PM. Mopar Or No Car

Pic below for reference. They install just slightly below the body line as on this unrestored car - I think it's all original with the exception of the driver's fender. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1970-dodge-challenger-r-t-hemi/ I went with stripes from Phoenix for my car and I'm happy with them. https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/54372/1.html https://www.phoenixgraphix.com/p-d.php
