I just spent a few minutes looking at the show your cars thread only to see a single example of positive side stripes.

I have just aded positive stripes to my car and would like to see the orientation on other cars to know if I got it right, or close enough.

I'll post pics of mine when I get a chance. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

"PORSCHE" centered on door .75 " above lower body line. This is from the factory letter instuctions for placment. Jeff Bowlsby has it I believe.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) That confirms my suspicion. I bought positive side stripes, and tried to return them because they were to big. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/king.gif) Someone... said they were right, the lettering dosen't fit on the door istelf it's cut off at the door gaps more like the negative ones. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bs.gif)
They are already on the car.

These are from 1970's Porsche+Audi adverts for the 914, so the stripes are right on these....

Note that they used the same pic for the 73 & 74 MY 2.0's in these ads....

Hope this helps from the "official" PAG & P+A/VoA marketing materials from back in the day!

If you really study these adverts you will see that they are not the same car (red v yellow) to car. I have seen them installed many different ways, but there is a letter from PORSCHE AG on how to do it. I am sure Bowlsby has a copy of it. If the word PORSCHE is to big for the door they are probably 911 stripes. Did the come from the Atlanta area? I made the same mistake 12 years ago.

They were just a short distance from my house at a reputable 914 parts supplier whose ad I see at the bottom of the page while posting this.

Found it, it comes with the decal. I got this from Jeff's site. I still remember seeing some sort of letter that specified .75 inches from the lower body line. The ads change every few seconds. No big deal. I had mine made from an original. The shop here still does them. Not sure on the price. I also have an original black one I bought a few years ago without the bag. It is in 3 parts however, I do not know if someone cut it, or its original that way. The person I bought the stripe from told me that it was original, and came in 3 seperate parts so it was interchangeable left to right. Good luck getting that straight.

Yup, those re 911 stripes and I have also BTDT.
I am repainting my car this year so I will replace it with the correct one this time.
I had mine on for ten years...it looks fine.
I hand painted the fender lip in front and back, and hand painted an extension of the stripes to the front and rear fender....looks interesting.

The Stripe was installed by the Dealer in 71, when the car
was delivered.

Here is mine, with the original dealer installed positive stripes. Yes, centered on door, letters contained to door olny, and stripe should wrap over both fender lips.

Side stripes, sheesh. I remember when I went over to Dave's to help him install his. When I got there he had already done one side AND he had finished off all the beer.

And, a personal pet peeve of mine, he kept calling the duct tape Duck tape.
