Hard to get an exact measurement, but it is just over 2 mm.

Most people use the diffuser from home depot or lowes. Make sure to use the heavy duty one. The thiner stuff ends up breaking a lot easier.

I had a printing shop nearby make me some 2mm black vinyl strips for the pinstriping, however I gave up on that pretty quickly.
Aligning the stripes was just pure hell and was never gonna look good :(
