Got a question for you guys. Recieved the SS stripe set from Pheonix Graphics and wanted to know the following: Is the distance between the stripes correct as they are supplied? They look to be pretty close, except for the hood stripes which have to be seperated from each other. The only thing missing from Pheonix that would make life easier are the measurements from the edges of the hood, trunck , etc.

If anyone out there has measurements (or could run out and take them) for the following we could post it and save it for anyone else that's going to install a set of these (including me!!):

- From the top edge of the hood (by the windshield ) to the stripe

- From the lower edge of the hood(where it meets the front fasica) to the stripe (this would also allow correct placement of the short stripes on the front fascia)

- From the side edges of the rear spoiler to the edge of the stripe

- From the edge of the trunk lid to the edge of the stripe

- For T-tops, from the center of the center T-top support (the black brace in the center of the roof)to the edge of the stripe (this would be measuring from the center of the roof out towards the inside edge of the stripe)

Thanks for the help - SSBOB

- From the top edge of the hood (by the windshield ) to the stripe

3/16"

- From the lower edge of the hood(where it meets the front fasica) to the stripe (this would also allow correct placement of the short stripes on the front fascia)

If I understand the question correctly, the stripe actually hangs over the edge about 1/8 to 3/16

- From the side edges of the rear spoiler to the edge of the stripe

It's better to measure from the center of the car to the stripes, this is because the hatch curves and you really want a stable point of reference. To this end the stripes are 5 1/2 inches from the center of the car on either side.

- From the edge of the trunk lid to the edge of the stripe

1/8 to 3/16"

- For T-tops, from the center of the center T-top support (the black brace in the center of the roof)to the edge of the stripe (this would be measuring from the center of the roof out towards the inside edge of the stripe)

Same as the trunk, 5 1/2 inches.

Thanks for the help - SSBOB

Hope this helps

SSteve:
Thanks for the help. If it's not too much trouble I would appreciate it if you could provide the following two measurements for the hood stripe:

1)Distance from the top side edge of the hood (as far up as you can go on the hood by the windsheild) to the edge of the stripe

2) From the front edge of the hood (the corner where the front fasia and fender cone together)to the edge of the stripe.

(In other words the distance from the side of the hood to the edge of the strip at the top of the hood and at the bottom of the hood).

It shouldn't matter which side you measure from as the distances from the side of the hood to the outer edge of the stripe should be the same for both the left and right sides. I would like to double check this before I apply the stripes. Thanks for you help!!

If this is from the dog ear to the edge of the strip, it's 12". If it's from the stripe to the edge of the hood, it's 1/8" to 3/16"

BTW, I will tell you that the distance between the hood stripes and the that of roof/rear deck/spoiler is different. The latter are all the same, but the hood stripes are further apart.

Hope this helps.
