2005 Silver Stripe Hood Template?

Does anyone have measurements for the hood stripe for a 2005? I have a black with silver striped car and the fiberglass gassed out after being in MI after 20 years in Utah. Super strange so I need to repaint the hood and it appears the stripe widens after it starts the downward portion of the hood to match up to the outer edges of the bumper stripes. Appreciate any guidance, thanks!
 
In case the factory spec stripe dimensions aren't published somewhere(?), I just measured my 2005 Quick Silver's stripes: Both stripes are 6.83" wide +/- 0.02" on the nose, frunk lid, clam shell and rear fascia ... but the roof stripes are 6.71" +/- 0.01", and I'm not sure why or if that's correct. Note, I'm the 3rd owner and can't guarantee some part(s) weren't repainted, and I'm stating that +/- figure because they definitely do vary along the way on the frunk lid and clam shell. On the other hand, the space between the stripes is 0.97" +/- 0.01" all the way from nose to tail.

When you look at my car from the back where the upper edge of the clam shell meets the roof's rear edge, the roof's stripes are definitely a little narrower than the clam shell's, as my measurements state. Again, I don't know whether that's factory ... and it's the first time I've ever noticed; guess I'd never looked that closely 🫣 ... and now I can't un-see it :)
 
Thanks for the quick reply. I think you are right in that the stripe widths between the nose and the roof are a bit different. It seems like they tapered the paint starting at the outer portion of the lower edge of the frunk where the fiberglass and the metal screen meet and they ran that up on an angle to meet the top of the hood. I can't find anything published on it either.
