This has the makings of another 15+ page thread, but here I go anyway...

First off, in my mind, if the emblems were above the Camaro script (just above the crease in the fender, as pictured in your original fenders), then the car didn't have the stripes. If you move the stripes up, then they interfere with the door handle/lock and how they flow into the spoiler stripes. Now, they very well could have put the stripes in their "normal" location and placed the emblems on top of the stripes...it would look odd, but could be done.

Clint: as for adding the stripes to your car, I would put it back as it originally came (without stripes). Why? That is how it was sold, and it's part of the car's character. Yeah, it's different, but in my mind, different is GOOD. My Yenko Chevelle is supposed to be Fathom Green with a green vinyl top...not really an appealing combo in my mind! But, that's how it was originally, and it's DIFFERENT.

I would say leave the stripes off....if thats the way it came and you can verify.If it came with stripes and you can verify I would do it with the stripes. I think they look nice without stripes personally.
