    To pinstripe or not

    Car will be resprayed soon, currently I have the dealer installed pinstripes down the body of the car.

    It will be painted OE black, what's the general opinion on pinstripes? Personally, I am leaning towards a pair of painted on silver-colored stripes down the side of the car and around the back.

    Many here don't like the stripes but I do. I think they're a detail that makes the car look more finished.

        I think pinstripes are sweet. Black and silver pinstripes especially. If you do em post picks.

          I thought about doing the same to mine (in factory colors) but now I am most likely going to do a Hartge clone, therefore a Hartge stripe...

            The M-tech pinstripe is the coolest thing in the ETK for the E30. Do it.
