Are you talking about the Shelby Superstripe like in my sig?

Mine is 18" wide with a 1" gap to the 1" 'pinstripe'

Originally it was all vinyl, but after a rear ender last summer I replaced the rear bumper and had the shop paint the stripe on the bumpers. Painting the bumpers filled in the license plate framing. Holding off on the rest until the new hood is purchased.

Here is a shot of the rear

You need the pinstripes to pull that one off....

Mine came with one big painted on stripe across the entire car.
It is redfire metallic in color and is about 52" wide and extends down the
side and covers about all of the stang. The windows are about the only
part thats not striped.
Some one once tried to tell me its not a stripe but the way Ford paints
their vehicles. I guess I was the laughing butt of the jokes that day
at the stealership when I went to buy...
That saleman got me hook line and sinker with that added 'body stripe' option.

here is mine, I had it painted on at the dealership when I bought it, I cant remember exactly but I think it is like 14" or 16" wide with a 1/4" gap then a 1/4" stripe. I added the blue stripe latter. If you are interested I can get the actual measurement for you.
you

I saw a WV blue v6 by the beach with a thick white stripe going bumper to bumper, maybe 18" or less. It wasn't ugly, but pinstripes would've helped imo. It is unique though, if that's what you want.
