I agree with Dan.

[StevenGuthmiller]

I'll pass too.

The only front quarter stripes I've ever really liked were these.

[Snake45]

Yawn. I'm bored with the new fad already.

[pharoah]

Yep,just for the Corvette and Cobra. They just look wierd on a truck.

[Tom Geiger]

I don't get it either. I guess everyone got bored with the peel and stick port holes?

[iBorg]

Always struck me as a weird design element. The stripe breaks up the flow of the car, sorta of a stop sign to the car's natural curves.

[Daddyfink]

They only work on certain cars

And this is not one of them......

[Guest]

Not a fan either.

[Petetrucker07]

I'll pass. Not much of a band wagon guy myself.

[Scale-Master]

They've been on my car since before it was a fad. Left side only...

[bismarck]

Nope. I'm out too.

[Deano]

Aw, man! And here I was gonna put those striped on every car I own including the 53 Plymouth!

I'm sure it came from the factory that started it, Mopar.

[Atmobil]

I can also make my own "fart-stripes" (fart is the norwegian word for speed)

[Casey]

I'm sure it came from the factory that started it, Mopar.

IIRC, it was something a race team started doing in the '60s, to make the car easier to spot for the team's sign holders(?).

The Challenger SHOULD have been the Charger and no amount of stripes is gonna fix that. Hmphhhhh, four door Charger. Kill me, kill me now........

Ok, I give up.

What's the meaning?

[Scale-Master]

Ok, I give up.

What's the meaning?

I'm not sure what you're asking.

What's the meaning of the Rally Stripes on a Camaro?

What's the meaning of Hemi Billboard graphics on a 'Cuda?

What's the meaning of Rocker Stripes on a Mustang?

What's the meaning of a Bumble Bee Stripe on the back of a Mopar or front of a Camaro?

You said left side only. I figured there was some sort of meaning to that. You know, like wearing an earring in one particular ear, etc.

It was to identify GS Corvettes during a race where numbers were blocked form view of the spotters for the particular team. numbers often were blocked from view by other race cars.

[Jon Haigwood]

They are called "pit strips". Mostly used for racing teams to id which car was coming into the pit at road races. Only on the pit facing side. Some times yellow was used to denote a Rookie driver. Would be OK to use on a road race model. They were first used on a Cobra at the 1963 Sebring FIA Race

I'm just waiting for someone to inject 'back in the day' into this subject somewhere; another fad that was like fingernails on a blackboard for me long before I heard it the first 2500 times...
