Mine was a spring special and came with it new. When restoring the car I figured I would see how I liked it without the tape. If I didn't like it it would be easy to add on later.
Yeah that's what I recall. It may have been a half year intro. I believe the package also included the chrome grille inserts. The whole insert was chromed, painted black and only leaving the leading edges chrome.
I duplicated this on my driver 68. I just like the look better than the somewhat plain argent grilles. Real ones have the word "chrome" molded into the plastic on the back in raised text. If I ever get around to body work and paint, I was planning on adding the red decklid tape.
Our taillights may be small, but the pink around the outside is sexy.
