It is not the same thing as you're talking about but I've always liked
the black stripe at the bottom of one of  the vans on go westy's
website:

Though I think it might just be painted on. It strikes me as being
somewhat easier to do paint touch ups on, and it breaks up the side of
the van a bit which, particularily with a white AW top like my van
has, seems a little like an iceburg when it drives by.
