After the completion of the paint job, I thought it needed something more so I ordered a white stripe from Phoenix Graphics.  It turned out pretty good.  There are a few small bubbles in it but I'm told they will come out over time sitting in the sun.  The air bubbles on my other car (see avatar) came out over time.

Looks great, I love white stripes.  I have to ask why did you go with the V88 emblems if you put a new stripe on the that should have the R/T cutout in it?
This car was sold many years ago to somebody in Wisconsin. I now am retired and living in Florida.

This RT is originally a stripe delete car so I had purchased the badges last year when I was acquiring the parts.  I didn't want to try and line up the badges with the cutouts in the 69 decal kit so I bought the 70 stripe kit which has no RT in the decal.  Thus the R/T badges fit nicely in the new 70 decal kit.  I know the decal is a 70 on a 69 but there are other parts of the car that are not original so I am not too hung up on originality on this car.  My next project is a 70 R/T which I plan on keeping 100% original.  Picture below is before I installed the stripe.

 Man, that looks great though I do also like it without the strip. Still, all in all, a nice job. That's a T5 color right? T5 is what mine is being painted in. Well done.  :2thumbs:

I like the car equally with or without the stripes. Neither way is better, just different.  :2thumbs:
The the one thing that I hate about converting my R/T into a daytona is not being able to use my beautiful NOS R/T quarter emblems. I'll tuck them away in case I buy another R/T or convert this one back some day.

I did the same thing only I painted the stripe.  Got tired of frisbies or whatever scuffing up the decal stripe.

Personally not a fan of the emblem/stripe combo myself.   I would however paint the marker light housings stripe color :thumbs:
