Got mine from Corvettestripes.com. Two stripes are the same width, and one stripe is wider. I searched for Corvette Grand Sport, one in the 60's and one in the 90's. Looks like there's a narrow one and a wider one.
Check this link, I had asked for "Dimensions for GS fender stripes".

They were originally used on the GS racers for observers & pit crew to quickly tell one (painted to match) car from another. In the pits, the crews would be running around (with tires & fuel) and could glance at the fender, making sure who's who. Sometimes hash marks could be different colors, or some had 'em, and some didn't.
