I'm not sure if it's the same one I saw, or another one, but I've seen those stripes on another Ebay auction vehicle. They appear to be a "reverse" of the wide Ital strip you mentioned. I'd decided the first time I saw them that I like them. :) I don't really think it'll make the car more valuable though. I hope that one goes to a good home. It looks in great shape. I also got to see what my new tires will look like when mounted. I'm glad I went with the white lettering.
