Ok my car is all orig - untouched. That being said all the ends of the stipe wrap with the exception of the fender well. All wraps are at least a 1/4 of an inch and no more than the fist cut on the sheet metal. This a measurment taken from the flat finshing side only. Thus, it would appear that the tape was applied to the exterior side, then to the edge, before being cut and wraped. Now with aftermarket stipes that come pre-cut, the stripe would have to be adjusted accordingly. The side scoop is a 1/4 on the back side and at the air ram. The door has a larger, longer wrap than the other parts b/c the first cut ridge in the sheet metal is longer, deeper.
