They may get lost with the dark body color. What color rims are on the car? If they are brass money style why not try and match the body stripe to them. A matte or antique bronze or hammered antique copper might look killer.

 

I once started to put them on my 1320 but then decided against them and ripped them off before I even finished putting them on.
In some cases I think they look great, but in others not so great . You have a Yellow T/A WB right ? Flat Black would probably looked great, Yellow & Black are a great combo but I would base any pics you look at with that color combo before making your decision

I like original Yellow Jacket Stripes and like when they go the full length

But then again I LOVE the side body lines of the challenger with no stripes and feel Black can be used to accent it other ways

 

I am still debating on adding side stripes. I like that thin stripe above. But I still don’t understand why they never brought back the original “under the body stripe” like the original on the ‘70 challenger. I think that looks great.

 

I really like the look of that first yellow challenger with the black hood and strobe stripes. That would get my vote.

 

From a visual perspective IMO, it would look better if the strobes had gone through the front fender flare instead of being cut around it. What do you think?

 

I don't like how they just stop at the rear window. I've seen some that go all the way that I really like though.

 

I agree that stripe end is supposed to be the alignment point where the stripe ends and the RT begins, or TA or GT, etc.. According to the graphic installer that redid my RT stripes. Also it was imperative the end of the stripe had the same matching slope angle of the side window

@Uglydan

Side stripes are all about what you want, and it is another way to personalize your Challenger and make it look individual.

Caution: I would not pre-buy any ready made stripes off the net though, go to your local graphics shop, not only can they design and cut out whatever you want. They do the install and take all the responsibility, if they don't get it right, they fix it!

So do what you want, no matter what anyone else thinks.

EDIT: Check out those new Mickeys on the rear, those bad boys will snap a knot in your neck!

 

Hence why I like the D170, NOTHING should interrupt the Body Lines, not flares (which they do) and if they do I would agree "then" the stripe should go through the flare to bring the body line back

 

My two cents, hellraisin color looks great on its own, classy; it's one of my favorite colors for Challengers. The stripes look good with some colors, and not as good on others.

Is this what you mean Betty?

You won't ever see stripes on mine, but I may recommend them now and again for others who want something extra to maintain and worry about 🤪....

 

Now thats a Bad Ass Look right there Brother Ry and Sticky Mickeys look GREAT

Thanks Rob!

 

Matte Black stripes on any challenger makes it looks so much better in my opinion.
Put them on and you will look like a King Cobra snake compared to regular snakes. 💥💥💥

 

 

The Classic Belt Line is the one I like best or the Bumble Bees depending on the Car's Color.

 

Stripes on Hellraisin won't stand out very much since it's a darker color. Myself, I like the clean look, no stripes. My car came with a stripe on the back that goes over the trunk. It looks okay, it came with the car, so I'm not removing it. But I don't think I would add stripes if it didn't have any from the factory. Everyone likes something different though.

 

I am trending toward your opinion, as my car doesn’t have any, and I really like it more all the time. I opted for the SRT spoiler (which I love), so that even eliminated the bumble bee stripe on the back.

 

Thanks for the responses.

This is my second hellraisin colored Challenger.

I installed the classic r/t stripes on the first.

I want to either add the full length dual stripes or the t/a style side stripes. I think the side stripes work better on the shaker since the shaker breaks up the hood a bit, where the dual snorkel hood doesn't have that.

 

Seeing that rather than imagining it, it looks bad ass.

 

When your doing stripes Dark Colors a Light Stripe is best a Light Color a Dark Stripe or go with a complementary or contrast.

Complimentary Contrast Colors

 

I liked the subtlety of the matte black stripes.

However, I've been trying to find a local shop to install the dual stripes in silver, on the same type of material the OEM carbon fiber stripes come in on the hellcats.

 

Any Shop that does Vinyl Wraps can get them in Silver or Make them or you can get a shop that's top notch in Painting to Paint a Set On the Car using a Template.

 

Trying to find a good shop in my area has proven to be a little time consuming. There are several nearby, but have middling reviews.

 

Matte black on HR just works. IMO.

 

I loved having the a-line R/T stripes on my former, 2013 Classic.

 

I like some kind of stripe on these. There's just too much sheet metal to go without. My 2010 Hemi Orange, 2013 Jazz Blue and 2014 Header Orange R/Ts had the hood to fender hash marks. My 2012 Header Orange R/T had the '71 style dual stripes plus the large "R/T" callout decal on the hood. My 2016 had over the top stripes and my current Frostbite 2022, I'm still deciding.

 

I only like the r/t stripe.

 

My matte black factory tail stripe was very low maintenance. I used the same McGuire's car shampoo on it as the rest of the car. No problem. Since I had it replaced with my red aftermarket stripe, same thing. I am just careful not to wipe against the edges. Either wipe away from them or usually just "blot" them with the wash mitt.

Where did you get your aftermarket stripe?

 

No issues what so ever. High quality graphics are easy to install yourself, and maintain.

 

I do prefer subtlety, but I kinda like this

Yes yes yes

 

Ive seen many stripes put on that give me motion sickness with more waves than the ocean.

 

Agreed. I let my detail shop do mine and they did a great job.
