Title: stripe kits
Post by: proford1 on March 05, 2020, 12:48:11 PM
i bought this car from a friend back in 2004 over the years ive acquired a few stripe kits, one of them looks like it might be a GT350 nos kit but rolled up in it was a 500KR sticker that does not look correct with same 3m backing?

Neither of the GT500 KR stripes are originals.

The fonts and zeros are not the correct shape and the backing paper is incorrect

On the bright side if there is one a 14 year old stripe may have started to dry out and not the best for use on a car anyway. You can tell your self that as you use it for wall art in some way or throw it in the trash.

Great for custom golf carts and off-road toys and refrigerators and lots of Shelby related "things". Maybe little kids electric cars........better to have fun than toss in the GARBAGE

Just for clarification, aren't the GT500KR letters in the bottom 2 photos with the rounded zeros correct? My eye is not that great but I couldn't see a difference in font from the original drawing.  They also have different backing than the top photos.

They are not correct

They are ovals
