Lower Stripe on Regular Firebird

I need the measurements of the lower body stripe (red and black) that was on the 85-90 Firebird. I am repainting the grey that went on the bottom, but am having a heck of a time finding the replacement tape. I figured I could have a graphics place make new tape, just need the correct measurements! Here is a picture of what I need. Thanks in advance!

That was the first place i looked... also tried pheonix graphics and Stencils and stripes.... I guess what I'm looking for is if someone still has this stripe and can give me DIMENSIONS of the red, black, and small grey portion in between and the total thickness of the stripe. Once I get that, I know a dealer that can make stripes on his computer... Thanks for your help!!
