Default C3 stripe

I have seen this type of stripe on a few C3 cars and but cant seem to find the dimensions on it. Anyone know what it may be? I just want the bar not the larger one that goes to the back glass if that makes any sense. Thanks.

They are all over the place so I don't think you'll find a number that anyone would agree on.
I've collected a bunch of photo's and they are anywhere from just covering the rear to about 1/2 way through the side marker light (most common but vary where they cross it) to just in front or just behind the marker light.

Same goes for the skunk stripe and the radius leading to it,

HIH (I know it doesn't, find one you like and guestimate it)

Since its a custom stripe, not done by the factory, there is no definite correct size.

The stripe on the car posted by the OP looks like the one on the back of 68/69 Chargers. I like that one the best of all that are posted.

Do you know if the base colour on that car is Steel Cities Grey? Looks pretty cool.
