[Shank2117]

I noticed on the 09's the stripes are skinny in the front and wider towards the back. Can someone please measure the bumper/hood/roof/trunk please?

Your definetely correct. Same as 06 they start narrow in the front and get wider towards the rear. Sorry I don't have an 09 to measure for you though.

Smog Dog posted the measurements on 1-24-08, search and you will find it. These are for an 08 but I think 09 is the same. I've seen the vinyl and I think it looks cheap, they can't get it around the nose and the ones you see posted that everyone raves about aren't even straight. I had mine painted on and they laid it out with a laser. They turned out much better than the factory and the cost was about $900.

Don't like the "skinny" stripes of the 08-09's.

Me neither, that's why I went with 06 spec stripes. Some don't like how the stripes fall into the hood vents but I think it looks better overall compared to the skinnies. I also discovered it looks way better in person than in photos.

I agree, I like the 06 stripe better but went with the 08 specs to to keep the factory look.

Stripe widths are like colors---we all have our favorites. I happen to like the 08-09 better. That said, if I were changing out an 06 hood to the 08-09 style and my car already had stripes, I would go with the wide ones and not mess with the front fascia.

Same as the 06? My 06 copperhead coupe stripes are the same width all the way to the back..

I don't think so. If I remember right, my 06 First Edition was 9 inches at the rear spoiler, and 8 inches at the front fascia. Walk out to your garage and put a tape on it....you may be right!

He must have fallen on his way out and can't get up. Where did you go? It's been a whole day since you went out to check.
