I've been able to get real close in Photoshop using the font "Vrinda" with the text height set to 100% and the text width set to 200%. You can see it here in the header from my webpage:

I made mine with Helvetica Black and adjusted the stroke until it looked just right. Here's a jpeg of mine… maybe that will help you.

Damn I forgot about this thread lol I never ended up putting SS decals on the stripes, I opted for 320hp decals instead and it was the right choice. I miss those stripes
