You do know that the main stripe changes thickness along the length of the car, right? Just something to be sure of before you get it painted...

14. Q: What are the dimensions of the Grand Sport pinstripes?

The factory 2-color decal pinstripes are 1/4" wide (white) and 1/4" (blue). Actually, they are just a tiny bit narrower than this, but 1/4" is plenty close enough.

The wide center stripe is painted on (Arctic White) and varies in width across the car. From the front of the car going back, the approximate width of the wide center stripe (not including the pinstripes) is as follows:

* at the very bottom of the nose below the front license plate: 17"
* across "Corvette" on the front license plate cover: 17-1/8"
* across the Corvette emblem on the nose: 18"
* even with the top of the headlamp openings: 19"
* 1/2 way up the hood: 20"
* at the rear of the hood: 21-1/4"
* across the top, front (coupe): 19-5/16"
* across the top, middle (coupe): 19"
* across the top, back (coupe): 18-5/8"
* across the gas cap: 17"
* across "Corvette" at the rear: 16-7/8"
* below the rear license plate: 16-3/4"
