They haven't been run on another car until this year when GM brought the Grand Sport back, and I believe they run them on the driver side fender as they use to do. Also some kits you can get (I've seen) have the stripes being staggered in size. Either front or rear stripe is bigger then the other one, not sure how that came about.
Thanks for the history lesson and it makes since
