Hey guys,
A friend of mine recently sent me some pictures of a six that his friend purchased. The seller purchased the car used in '72. One thing about the pics that was interesting/different was the 'Porsche' script on the rocker panels. Coincidentally I saw an eBay ad today for an old (early '90s) magazine article highlighting the sixes, and one of the examples in their spread had the same script. I've done enough reading at this point to come to my own conclusion that this wasn't a factory option, but I was wondering if anyone knew if this was a dealer option and if so how common is it? This isn't the first time I've seen it, just the first time I've really paid attention. Thanks, Reid |

Here is an LE. Correct me if I'm wrong. The factory stripes wrap around the fender well. The aftermarket ones stop before the lip. Material can also be an issue. This LE has the sunflower yellow stripe. The 2 aftermarket sets that he has do not match, it has a hint of orange in it. Factory stripes were more translucent. Yes the car is 46 years old with the original stripes. The wheels, rockers and bumpers have been repainted in the correct factory color.He has gotten samples of vinyl that are more translucent and has found a perfect match.
