1982 Firebird Trans am decal stripes

Does anybody know if the original decals stripes are supposed to be top stripe thinnest and gradually getting thicker to the bottom black area or vice versa?

I see some variability online and dont know what is actually original. This picture COULD be wrong, but I am not sure.

They start out thick and then go to thin. The one in the picture is upside down. Probably a reproduction decal that was die cut wrong.

They do look upside down. The cut out looks right though. Original decals where also solid color. I cant tell from the picture if the decal is red/back or clear/black.

Thanks Dennis!!! And thank you also Jeff!! I forgot you BOTH these cars inside and out!! They are 2 toned with red and black. The guy who made these made them wrong. Its unfortunate because I had to pay a professional alot of money to have them placed. Now the whole entire car is done wrong.
