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 Greg... They offer both sizes, now I know to order the 11" gloss dark red... You're right, it will be a whole new wonderful experience walking up to her... Plus I have always loved the rally stripes on almost any car...

I guess I have one more question I need your help on... I am going to use the 11" stripes... I need to know what to do with my scoops? Do I cut the stripes around them (the stripes will cover about 3/4 of them)... Or do I go over them? Let me know your thoughts... I have included a pic if someone would be so kind as to photo shop it... Thanks again,

I would go over them if possible. I think that would be the best way to go about it.

Thank you for your suggestions... My only concern is that each stripe would only cover 3/4 of each scoop... Can someone do me a favour and maybe Photoshop the pic a few posts back... It would be very helpful... Thanks again for all your help...

Ha ha it's always a delima when it comes to modding our cars. One thing or the other, but it has to be correct or the whole effect is ruined. I'm not able to photoshop and help that way. Here are a couple shots of my painted stripes going over the scoop. I say just let them become theirselves on the car. They will hit where they hit. Since these are decals can't you move them in and out from each other and make them hit the scoops in a certain way? That way perhaps you can have them split the scoop 50 / 50 instead of 3/4.

Jerry your stripes look great...... The problem with mine is that the gap (un-covered area) will be on the outside of the hood scoops... I think I'll try laying them down whole and remove off of scoops if it does not look good...
