Im trying to find out if any of the Air Grabber equipped cars were also ordered with fender-hood stripes. I like the look of the hood-fender stripes, but have yet to find a photo of an Air Grabber hood car with the fender-hood stripes. Does anyone know if the stripes were available with the Air Grabber hood option on the '71's?

Thanks,
 
Not sure if they are correct but Google comes up with some hits.

Another.

 
Fare as I know they were not. Air Grabber hoods did not come with the hood & fender stripes. The only thing I can think of is that car has a factory screw up. I don't think you could of ordered it that way. Any one ?

The Bahama Yellow car is very similar to mine, I like the fender stripes with the AirGrabber hood, was just curious if it was truly an option or not.

I don't think you could get fender/hood stripes with air grabber. But if you got the air grabber, you got the engine call outs above the front marker light. With standard hood, engine call outs were on the hood not the fender. I see many cars with booth, and that is wrong.
 
the only stripes with the air grabber that i'm aware of
is the v21 v25 stripes that go down the hood and also down trunk lid..

After digging a little further, I believe that you're correct. I think I'll apply the hood/fender stripes any way, the V21/25 stripes really don't appeal to me. The hood/fender stripes seem to shorten the car up a little IMO.

Air Grabber cars were not available with the hood to fender stripes. The stripes terminated in the standard GTX hood indentations which included the engine call out decal. As a previous poster remarked, the cars with an Air Grabber used engine call outs at the front of the fender, above the marker lamps.
 
I decided to go ahead and install the hood/fender stripes along with chin spoilers, rear black outs and hood pin kit. I installed the stripes a little rearward of the factory location with a very slight slant front-rear. Not "original", but the stripes break up some of the yellow and make the front end appear a little shorter to me.
