Lower stripes on 84 Trans Am without Aero package

I'm planning on getting my car repainted soon and do not know what the stripes on an original 84 Trans Am without Aero package look like. Are they exactly the same as an 83 Trans Am? The stripe decals sold by Phoenix Graphics for an 84 are the ones for the Aero package and they go up to the middle of the fender vents. Not sure if I would like these without the Aero package on my car.

Also, the plate on the radiator support says 27L 19M 27U. This is Dark Royal Blue Metallic on the top and bottom, but what does the 19M stand for?

19M comes up as TRIM COMBINATION, VINYL, BLACK using this website:
http://www.austinthirdgen.org/index.php?pid=30

i have a 1984 Pontiac Merchandiser binder. it says the Trans Am without aero package and 27 Dk. Royal Blue Met. Exterior Color had the following:
Accent Color - 19 Black
Paint Break Stripe - Blue/Black
Graphics - Black
Turbo Cast Alum. Wheel N89 Standard - Black
Turbo Finned (N24) & Hi-Tech Turbo (N78) Alum. Wheels Optional - Silver/Charcoal

i'm assuming 19M means the decals were black: the hood bird, sail panel birds, fender TRANS AM lettering and rear bumper TRANS AM lettering.

Re: Lower stripes on 84 Trans Am without Aero package

Thanks for the info.
Here are the RPO codes for my car:
Code:
AAA AC3 AK1 AM9 AQ9 AU3 A01 A31 BV8 B20 B23 B34 B35 B48 B91
CD4 C49 C60 C95 DE1 DG7 D03 D1T D27 D34 D42 D53 D80 E5Z E6N
GT4 G80 J65 K19 K22 K34 L69 MD8 MX0 NB1 NB2 N24 N33 N65 PB4
QYZ TR9 T93 UA1 UP8 UQ7 UT1 UU6 U21 U23 U25 U27 U29 U75 VAN
VJ9 VK3 V73 WS4 WS6 WS8 WU5 YR1 YS1 YT1 YT9 Y06 19M 22C 22I
229 27L 27U 6ZW 7ZW 8NM 84P 9NB
At the bottom of the SPI sticker it says:
WATER WA- M0848 L8315 U8315

I saw on another post that D53 is the small hood bird in the front. My car no longer has that since it was repainted. The stripes at the bottom seem incorrect also. I think whoever repainted the car just took some generic vinyl stripes tried to copy the originals.

Any more info you can provide on the original appearance of my car will be greatly appreciated.

Re: Lower stripes on 84 Trans Am without Aero package

I'm thinking it looked like the SE. why would anyone order a TA without the aero package when the SE was available with all the options a TA gets.

here's some pictures of a black and gold 1984 i bought that did not have the aero package. yours should have looked like this one but in all 27 Dk. Royal Blue Met.
