Take a good quality color Pic of your stripe. Print it. Then take it in to the decal shop and see what they have to match it.

Good Idea

Must be the color, but the stripes on the orange car look wider than the stripes on the white car. How wide are the stripes?

I read they are 2" wide with a 1" space between them.

Correct.

Both cars have the same dimensions.

The Corvette Grand Sport is the car that most people associate with fender stripes. According to one of the CGS sites, these are the correct dimensions for the fender stripes:

The GM part number is 10279781 (GM LIST: $39.57), listed at "STRIPE, F/FDR WHL OPG" and each stripe is slightly different. The left (front most) stripe is 2-13/16" wide while the right (rear most) is 2-11/16" wide. Each is approximately 8-7/8" long and they are spaced 3/4" apart. Torch Red is a perfect match in color.

I like the look of the wider stripe, so I may go with these.
