While my car isn't a Formula S, my dad had the stripe put on when he bought the car new. In doing the restoration, he decided he wanted to put it back on. He ordered the decal from Year One and wants to put it on.

Anyone have an idea of the corect placement for the Formula S stripe?
 
I could take some pics of one alongside a ruler, if you like. They are factory, as far as I am aware.
 
The stripe was an option on any Barracuda, not just a Formula S.

On this page you will see the location of the stripe in relation to the lower body line. You should be able to eyeball it (probably what the factory did) it's about 1 1/4".

This is a thread with pics of my car's stripe placement. (I used the above link for my placement.)

Note: My thin center stripe is thicker than factory (Friend who owns a sign shop made them for $6 and it doesn't bother me enough to peal them off and re-do them)

That white one (which is now a metallic burgundy) is my car! Yes, the stripe was an option on any Barracuda and normally you do not see them with the lower trim. Actually it was recommended not to order the trim and stripe at the same time. Anyways, I see many stripe mistakes where they go from wheel opening to wheel opening. The stripe does not make it to or past the body lines around the wheel. I'm going to be putting the stripe back on my car- just in white this time. Good luck!

Yeah, mine is about 3/8" lower than what it was originally. Oh, well. Not enough for me to pull and redo. It still looks good.
