Thanks Pete,
Please don't laugh but I actually saw this product at "Autozone".
I wasn't even looking for it but I saw it in the store and thought I would give it a try.
It's made by "Trim Brite" products. It's a Carbon Fiber Adhesive Film.
It's weatherproof and made for interior or exterior use.
Very thin yet durable.
1 roll is 6 feet X 6 inches wide $12

I edited my previous post. They are chrome. I couldn't find aluminum to match the wheels. I will keep looking for now.

I am still looking for a match to the rims too. If I find them I'll let you know. What angle are the stripes?

I just buy a roll of 3" wide and 60" long and cut it to align with the angle of the doors.

Neither! :-) SIlver would look great though! I'll keep an eye out too. We have a local vinyl shop, so I may see what they have.

As anyone tried positioning the stripes so they bracket the door line instead of being either in front of or behind?

Funny thing... I received yet another SRT event post card and just above the SRT logo was two stripes that look exactly the sam... coincidence?

Cheers!

OK
I guess I have been getting a little carried away with these stripes but the material is inexpensive so I thought I would try the Aluminum look to better match the wheels.
As it turns out is also matches the SSB closely to.
So I installed the 2.5" Aluminum stripes over the original 3" black stripes and got the look I like the best out of all my trials
This is the link to the manufacturer website.
Click where to buy to find a retailer near you.
This is the product the member Mike-in-Orange used on his aero blue Crossfire.
They have 35 designs and colors and it comes in 5" wide 36" long sheets and can easily be cut.

Here it is:

Personally, I don't like the silver over the charcoal. I think the silver or aluminum would be nice by itself. I also noticed that you have a small ding right above your driver's side stripes. You should take that to Dent Wizard or another paintless dent repair shop. It would probably cost you about 60 bucks.
