If they were factory stripes they would continue down past the exhaust, and they would also be over the clear coat with a very feelable ridge. Also there is an additional paint code on the car for silver.
Stripes were available every year since 1996 on the GTS's.
All of the 96's GTS's were blue with white stripes.
1997 all blues had white stripes / none of the reds had stripes (brochure says white stirpes available).
1998 very few reds had silver stripes / very few silvers had blue stripes
1999 same as 1998, but add black cars to the mix.
2000 to 2001 followed the same pattern, very few striped cars. yellows came with black stripes only, while Saphire Blue, Steel Gray, colors had silver.
2002 offered silver striped cars again, but for the first time since 1997 white stripes were offered on a GTS and this is the 1st and only year white stripes were ever offered from they factory on a red GTS (Final Edition). All the FE carried they white stripes.

The Stripes stop at the license plate then continue past them, but are not painted at the very bottom of the rear bumper around the exhaust. My Chrysler sheets shows 2 paint codes (both Red) but has 3 different codes for Stripes/Badges/emblems. Seems to have clearcoat over them can't seem to feel a ridge.
Thanks for your replys!
The only TV show in history named after a car. Seems appropriate.
