What is the Standard Size for Bonnet Stripes?

I am having custom bonnet stripes done and I was wondering where I can find the measurements for the standard shaped bonnet stripes? Thanks!

I can go take some measurements, but what exactly do you need?

Silver Stripe size

My bonnet stripes are 4 & 9/16' wide. Boot stripes are 4 & 11/16" wide. They keep same width and do not taper. Make sure to get rounded corners so there's less chance of ruining sticker while you're washing/waxing.

Boot stripe on right side stops short of the "CooperS" chrome thing then restarts below it to avoid badge removal on their part and simplify stripe maintainance/removal on my part. It looks good.

Thanks fishbulb that helps a lot!
T2Nav I am so happy you mentioned the boot stripes, since I am looking at those for the future. I never thought of stopping the pattern near the badge I think that is going to work better then my original idea.

Now I am off today to hopefully get mine made (the last decals from them took forever!!). Thanks again!

What great timing and fantastic graphic! Thanx!!!

I just got my stripes today I bought from Mighty Stripes.
I won them on eBay for $13.99 + $6.00 shipping! Very fast shipping too.

Now I am waiting to get my Zaino Kit to spend some quality time with my Mini. I'll shoot before and after pix.
