Hi Oh10Challenger!   :wave:

Carlisle is an AWESOME place to meet folks from the club, and to see a TON of new Challengers.  I doubt you'll have any troubles finding inspiration for your stripe dilemma!

This link will take you directly to the Carlisle forum: http://www.cuda-challenger.com/cc/index.php?board=29.0 - be sure to add yourself to the sign-up list if you'll be coming to the show!  You can register online at www.carlisleevents.com and can even register under our club - Cuda-Challenger.com!  It is ABSOLUTELY a great time!

The Carlisle forum should have answers to almost any question, and if it doesn't, feel free to ask!

Hope to see you at the show!

If you go to Carlisle, beware of those Viper owners like Jeff.    :stirpot:

I understand your dilemma. It's a tough choice, and I think in a couple of years I'll change my choice just so I can have the chrome gas lid.   :grinyes:

A lot of variables here. Do you want to keep those stripes you have and just find side stripes? That's the easy way. If you want to ditch your original stripes, then you are a blank canvas. You could go with either black or white. There is a dark blue Challenger locally here that has pale orange 71 side stripes. I don't recommend that!   :22yikes:

I got my stripes here....

I'll be passing that way Thursday, but I've only seen it a few times. I'll take my camera.

Just my .02 but I'D leave the ones on the car now and go with something small on the sides. I think if you go to big on the sides it will be to much and be overdone.    :bigsmile:

I got mine from Challenger Gary from this forum. He can make pretty much anything you want.

Stripes looks great  personally i would  add a strip of white  in front of the rams  the  3 - 5 inch section   oval sorta right infront of the  hood rams  if you catch my drift also  maybe some side stripes  behind  the door like old style  maybe have it come in from  front of door back but the catch is  have it indoor  like ghost stripes little off color from factory paint starting  like  flat black    changing into white     starting  right and fender  line an door  going back  behind door working in colored stripes till back by gas tank to tail light is white    cheers   if that makes any sense
