Question Red Rally Stripes

Good afternoon everyone... Looking at picking up this rally stripe kit in red...

EZ Rally Racing Stripes with Outline for Any Car or Truck 3M Graphic Stripe | eBay

I have 2 questions, should I order the light red or dark red (want to match ss badge)?... Also, are the OEM stripes 11" or 16"? Any help would be appreciated...

I would get the darker red.....but that is coming from a person that would not buy a Victory Red Monte and had to get the darker Precision Red Either way it will look great though on White

The darker red or even burgundy. I'm not sure on the width of the stripe though.

I'm curious...

What color is your interior?

Might want to go with something that would pull the 2 together...

For instance black interior...Black stripe...

Red/Burgundy interior Red/Burgundy stripe...

Just my thoughts on the idea of color stripes.

I guess you need to use the red that would most closely match your existing red SS emblems, probably would work the best.

Concerning the regulation width for stripes which mine are supposed to be, I measured one, including the secondary border stripe and it measured 11" across.

Best of luck, it's going to be a refreshing mod for your Monte, a whole new feel as you walk up to her. NICE!!

Thanks, can't wait to see the result... My only concern is what to do with the hood scoops, go around (if possible), over, or not at all...

Great suggestion... My interior is black with red accents... I think the red stripes will accent the combo further... Thanks...
