Here is how my pinstripes look now (you can see my newly installed NOS quarter windows too). The gray MSP SSP reference photo is from MaroonCruisers.com.

Sorry, posted wrong size. Here it is larger.

Ive looked at a few diffrent cars, and took lots of measurements all the oem painted single stripes seem to be an 1/8" wide and run about a 1/4" off the body line.

I am not sure if the mustangs came factory with a double stripe???

They did not (at least not in 89 & 90), that is why I removed the thinner part of the double stripe that was put on the car when it was repainted by the 1st civilian owner in 1997. Your painted stripe info is correct as a stone stock 90 LX convertible (red with single gray painted factory pinstripe) sits right next to my SSP in the garage and that is what motivated to investigate (and fix the SSP pinstripe).

ahhhh.....nothing like a set of new quarter windows to improve the car.
