Do you have a fender tag or broadcast sheet? V6X or other is what you are looking for.

i have the fender tag, I can't get a picture that you can read but it is
N85 R22 V5X Y05 26 EN2
M21 M25 M31 G31 G33 J45
V1X A01 A05 A36 A62 B51
FC7 HRX9 000 B16062998
E63 D32 JS29 NOB

Don't show those last 6 digits. They are the personal numbers attached only to your car. People copy those to obtain fraudulent documents. Had it happen to me. I even tape over those numbers on the dash pad so People can't see them.

V5X is protective bodyside moldings.

And that deletes the bumblebee strip, right?

There are no stripes called out on your tag.

I've got several other mopars but this one is kinda rare and I have numbers matching motor so i really want to put it back the way it came. what about the hood should it have the blacked out power bulge, from what I've read all R/T's have the blacked out hood but I've seen alot of pictures of cars without it,so i don't know

 

[Xcudame]

V5X is definitely black protective side moulding. I think having it would prevent having the bumble stripe as it would interfere with the strip.

Do you also have the build sheet? It gives you a lot more information than the fender tag and will answer a lot of questions. V21 should be on the build sheet for hood blackout graphic or V22 if the tape option was deleted.

 

[kenneth]

I only have the remains of the build sheet it's not readable but the fender tag doesn't have either of them numbers on it. I have someone working on getting me a window sticker for it, would that have it on there?

Your R/T SE looked like the advertising brochure car without any stripes. No stripes on fender tag, so no stripes on car.
We can decode your fender tag if you post the codes or a picture of it. Sorry, I needed to scroll up further to see your fender tag codes.

I posted all the numbers at the first of this forum. I think I've got it figured out pretty much, I just won't sure about the hood, kinda think I was hoping for bumblebee strip and black hood buy hoping ain't going to make it happen

 This stripe was always paint, never vinyl, as vinyl won't conform to compound curves
Just my 2¢

for what ever it is worth. I'm not an expert on this. Find some one that does and knows vinyl wrap. Or get a sheet and try it. There is nothing to lose but a few bucks. The material is different now. I would try it just to satisfy my personal preference. It can always be removed.

This is a great option so you get the look you want and no consequences. The deck lid emblems are over the wrap.

Not to hijack the thread but my Cuda is Purple and the complementary color to FC7 is Lime Green. The Joker cars (Plymouth Furys) from Batman had this color combo.
That being said, the FC7 Challengers were allowed a limited number of colors for the Bumble Bee rear stripe and Lime Green was not one of them. See chart.
If I had a 70 Challenger in FC7 and no other stripes, I would consider putting on a "never-built" Lime Green Bumble Bee stripe in the wrap material.
It would look unusual and cool.

Also, I believe they introduced more Bumble Bee colors mid-year so the chart would have been updated via a service bulletin. Pictured FC7 with YELLOW stripe.
I will look for that or if someone else can post it, please do so.
