    Default Capri RS Striping

    Looking for a little help... Looking to replace (have replicated) the stock striping on my "79 Capri RS. I have an almost complete NOS set that I believe I can use, except that I'm missing the small (striped) piece on the top of the bumper cover near the lights. I was wondering if anyone who had one on their car would be willing to take a close up picture of it, preferably next to a ruler, so that I could do my best to have it duplicated. Either that, or if someone has one laying around that they're not using... Thanks in advance!!

    Finally made it out to the shop and had a look at my one remaining Capri cover that still has the stripes. As with many of Ford's items in the early 80's they don't match side to side. The passenger side is a bit longer than the drivers. Unfortunately I have already sanded the down the cover for my 82 RS, so I can't compare the stripes.

    Driver side stripe. Measures out to @ 5 1/2" from tip to the edge of the bumper cover.

    The passenger side measures out to @ 5 13/16" long from the tip to the edge of the cover.

    Sorry the pictures aren't any better, trying to hold the bumper cover upright, the ruler lined up and taking the picture all the same time was maxing out my skill levels.
