    I am going to see if I can get a set of grabber stripes made up for my car and was wondering if anyone had a picture of the stripes with the appropriate dimensions? Unless you know of any that don't say grabber on them. My car will be orange and I was thinking of a matte black stripe to match the tail light panel. Any thoughts on that?

    Mine are 1971 and completely original. The pictures are from the left rear quarter.

    One can get stripes with the word GRABBER omitted. Just say you want them for a 1970.

    Thanks Paul! That will help. And Craig, I didn't know the 70 didn't have it. That's good to know. I would love to have a matte black stripe, but might not be worth the trouble.

    On my '72, I had one of the stripe suppliers make me a '70 stripe set out of the 3M reflective black. They should be able to make them in flat black or any color.

    It has been a couple years but I think it was Phoenix Graphics.

    I've used Graphic Express too but I think Phoenix was the one that would make them out of any color I wanted. You just need to call and tell them what color you want.
