'71 Demon H code

Very nce car but I have one question . Why does everyone install the stripes wrong? The fuel cap handle should be stripe color. Is it that they are made wrong? There is a left and right stripe for Demons. I installed many OEM stripes at the dealer in the 70's. I see these stripes so low that if you were to put the wheel well chrome on there would be no color between the stripe and the chrome. The cap is painted stripe color . A lot put the stripe over the cap and cut it.. The OEM stripes had the gas cap already cut in the stripe when you got them. Now you cut them out yourself and guys are using the left over piece for the cap.

Here are pics of cars with OEM stripes. Also note the rear stripes are centered above the center body line at the rear. And the lower stripe is a different thickness then the upper. The upper has more of an arch. Left and right as I said they are different.
