Aftermarket, and dealer installed. Highly desirable, and I (personally) would preserve or replace them if possible. They look awesome.

You could look through the "pinstripes pictures" thread on here. I don't remember what it's called, but there are dozens of pictures of all kinds of dealer installed striped buses. Maybe there's one just like yours that the owner knows the origin of!
