Topic: Correct 68 C stripes, reflective or not

[68 S Code]

I am trying to get the stripes installed and am tryiong to figure out if they should be reflective or not. NPD sells all stripes as reflective with theexception of blue. They don't seem to offer non reflective in the other colors. My car came with black C stripes (red car). Marti report does not mention Reflective group which i believe called for reflective stripes. Input would be appreciated.

`S Code, My 7/68 Dearborn built cj has reflective gold stripes on it and the Marti Report does not specify reflective group. The original GT wheels are argent and not reflective either.

Hope this helps,

John

John thanks for thr response. The gold stripes I've seen and that's not many were all reflective. I don't know if that's the case with the other colored stripes. Maybe I'm imagining what I saw recently but is the gold stripe outlined in white? Saw a black car with gold c stripe recently and I could swear the gold had a thin white surround. Is your car original paint with an original factory applied stripe? You have a 7/68 build date?  Me too! Which plant?

John sorry about the last question. Dearborn CJ got it.

The Marti called out the reflective C stripe as an option if the car had them. My car is Black as well non reflective. I have a friend here locally with a 68.5 as well and his Marti calls out a Blue reflective C stripe.

That is what I wanted to hear. The marti report would have called it out. My report makes no mention of it. I would have preferred the reflective if it was optional at this point. Always liked the way they looked at night on my old Boss. I guess I need to find a vendor that sell non reflective. NPD only shows reflective on line.

Dudley thanks but stripes have been on for a month now. Hoping to fire the motor in the next week or two but heat wave outside is horrible. Coming your way so stay cool.

we have the central AC running. My wife is still going through the change and she can't stand the heat. We also keep our grand-daughter's pet rabbit in our house and he needs it too, doesn't shed his winter coat until August.
