What Stripe Do You Prefer?

What stripe do you prefer on a Yellow 70 Charger R/T with no vinyl top. V6X Longitudinal or V8X Bumblebee stripe? Do you think the Longitudinal Stripe would be too much yellow?

Both stripes look great on yellow. I have the longitudinal on my FJ5 Charger.

For yellow I'd prefer the bumble bee stripe (I meant to vote V8X but hit the wrong button confused). I have the longitudinal stripe on my 70.

Do you like your longitudinal stripe or is it too much blue?

I like it. Initially I was going to put a bumble bee stripe on it, but since it was coded for a longitudinal I couldn't bring myself to do it. It has grown on me. The pic above may have had some tinkering with the filters, but it's the only one I have showing the whole stripe. This one shows the actual colors a little better.

I voted longitudinal. Bumble bee stripes are over done.

What stripe is it coded for ?
Between the two, the longitudinal is more interesting to me.
But it's not my car.
As said already, the rump stripe is very common, and guys put it on everything.
I really like the blue car, the blue stripe is subtle.

I know. I need someone to change it or do I change it?

The car is perfect, leave it.



Well, except for those damn R/T door covers that some Idiot Stylist in '70 thought was a good idea to cover up the beautiful door accents. mad The longitudinal stripe just draws attention to this obvious lapse of judgement.

And, yes, we do have a '70 Charger without the door covers............thank goodness.

I would have been so pissed if I was as old as you guys and ordered a '70 Charger R/T only to see that nonsense plastered on the side of the car when it showed up on the lot. I would have left it and taken a used '68 or leftover '69. rant

Same here on the door covers, not my cup of tea. makes me think of all the plastic add-ons from Pontiacs.
We also filled the running lights and have a black bumblebee stripe
on our V2 charger, originally black longitudinal.

If that EB3 Charger had a tail stripe the same color as the longitudinal stripe............it would be the best looking car in this thread. twocents
