Hi guys ordered a set from the states, after waiting nearly 6 weeks i have been told there no longer available :x i have found someone now in the uk who is willing to make these for me but i need some measurements.
can anyone help by measuring them on there car for me and do they come in 3 sections or 1 complete section when you apply them.

Has anyone painted them on instead of using graphics

all advice greatly appreciated regards steve

No Dave, they are vinyl from the factory, though mine are painted on.

Repo, try these guys: Performance Car Graphics Silver was never an available colour on the 70 R/T, but they do all of the available colours:- black, white, tomato red, peacock blue and ledger green.

If I were you, I would go for Ledger Green, which is what mine originally came with. Unfortunately, PCG only recently started reproducing the LG stripe, which is why mine are painted on. If you decide to have them painted, or get them custom made locally, I can take some measurements for you.

Adam, it may be a silly question but given the choice would you opt for painted or vinyl if you had to do it again. I can tmake my mind up. Originallity with vinyl, but a trap for polish

Hi adam sent performancecargraphics a email tonight about ledger green but they claim its not available, have someone who will make me some so a set of measurements would be great :thumbright:

Hmm... well I suppose it was always going to be a limited market, as mine is one of only 2 that came with the Ledger Green stripe. Still showing as available on their website though...

I have a feeling I've seen some measurements somewhere, maybe in a restoration book I've got buried somewhere. If I can't find it, I'll take some measurements off the car and get back to you.

Clivey, I'd go for the vinyl, given a choice - it's hard to replicate the factory look with paint.
