To stripe or not to stripe?

[6PKRTSE]

What is everyone's favorite stripe? The rump stripe, the Longitudinal stripe, the T/A stripe, the 71' R/T stripe, or no stripes at all?

Rump

Depends on color combo, but I've always thought the rump was a nice accent.

Definitely like a stripe but I’m with Mr Schlosser on this one, it depends on color combo.

If pressed, I'd go with a longitudinal stripe because it really accents the ridge on the Challenger and how it sweeps up on the rear quarters. But certain colors look really good with the "rump" stripe.

The rump stripe was always my least favorite, but since my red Challenger has one. It has grown on me over time. I know minor, but what bugs me about it is how the rear side marker lights and rear bumper are diagonal and the stripe goes vertically right between them.

I'm cheap, I'll make my own

I love the 71 RT stripe.

I'll add that as a guy that has only owned Plymouths from this time frame, I've always been a bit jealous of all the cool tail stripe options that Dodge had back then.

I love the 71 RT stripe.

Or how about a ‘71 non R/T longitudinal stripe?

As an owner of a 70 Challenger and 72 Barracuda, I have to say the Challenger with its curve in the quarter panel just looks sexier to me! And the longitudinal (or body side moulding) just accents that curve. I actually think my son's 2015 Scat Pack as the better rear stripe.

I have always liked the 71 R/T and non-R/T stripes also as I have a similar on my 12' Challenger R/T Classic.

Or how about a ‘71 non R/T longitudinal stripe?

Longitudinal,
Rump is nice, but only works without the T/A spoiler, and that is mandatory.
Don't bring up the pedestal spoiler, hideous!

Agreed, everything has a go wing or gull wing these days. Looks like some sort of Auto Zone Ricer bolt on.
