Poll: Are the original side pinsripes placed below or above the side body crease?

I bought 94 LS400 at 30K miles. Used Car dealer said car had hood replaced and repainted? Crash? My pinstripes are just BELOW the side body crease, where the sheet metal descends vertically or curves up to meet the door windows or horizontal top of hood and trunk. Two lines, larger and smaller, fading from car washes, appears to have been hand painted. Reading posts, I learn they are decals and read post about removing them with oven cleaner. One member asked if I saw small "LS", but I don't and don't know where to look for that, or if it indicates original decal vs. hand painting.

So, other day, I follow identical car into shopping center and park next to it. I notice it has silver badges and I have gold. I say "You have a very handsome car" and they smile noticing mine. When I come out of store to get in my car, I notice their car paint is very nice, like it has been repainted, THEN I notice their pinstripes are just ABOVE the side crease line. I look at mine, noticing they are just BELOW the side crease line, think mine are better, but now I wonder if mine are original.

ANYONE a "Pinstripe Expert" on this forum?

Not a pinstripe expert, but they are supposed to be below the crease.
