Default Hemi Whiskers.....
Okay...Why do people that put them on their fenders apply them in "reverse" of how they should be? I have been wondering this for sometime, cause with the way people are applying them, they look too much like a knock off of the 96 Corvette Grand Sports...(see pic below)




So, where did the dual fender stripe come from? Well, for what I can tell from gathering info in the internet, it originated from the four 1963 Grand Sport Corvette racecars, as a way to tell the four cars apart. Which, is what the 1996 Corvette Grand Sport was commemorating.

So with that being said, wouldnt it be truer to the brand so to speak, to apply them on the fenders, in the same direction Dodge uses them in the Dodge Logo? (see image below)

^ It would be truer to place them like in the dodge logo. But, wouldn't they look "backwards" on a car that way?

Apply them to the rear quarter panels? And on the trucks, apply them to the back bed sides?

I never really thought about it. You do have a point. But I guess the final answer is that people will put them on any way they want.
