To pin stripe or Not to pin stripe

Gave her a basic wash today so she would'nt look nasty when I took these pics, but anyway I want everyones opinions on wether or not I should put pin stripes on my car.

Oh, and thanks to jack the ripper for the stripes to do my bumpers.

Off Topic but if I get H&R super sports would I be alright for awhile without C/C plates?

pin stripes along the side? or next to your solid stripes? I think an accessory pinstripe next to the solid stripes look good, but pinstripes along the side look like poo poo

Wow, I love the stripes on as it is. I wouldn't touch it. Do the super sports without the CC plates. You'll be ok for awhile.

Are'nt your pin stripes like 1/3" form the stipe, they look good in the pics, but when when I taped my car off it just seemed like to much of a gap.

Does anyone have pics of a black stang with stripes that are painted on, I plan on getting my car painted at or near the end of the summer, and I plan on getting the stipes painted on. I'm just not sure how wide I should get them, I was thinking if I got them painted on I would get them 10" wide?

If I ever went with stripes I'd do em just like jacks. They just don't look finished without the pin striping.

Well, guess i cant speak for everyone but im sure we all see a slight difference between the professionally hand painted pinstriping vs the vinyl striping. LOL

However, comma, we will probably continue to use "pinstriping" when referring to the vinyl pins for the remainder of this conversation due to a lack of better or more convenient word.

hope we dont offend.

wish i had a hot rod.... one day...... one day.....

They look alot better with the bumpers done. Now to convince Dom's fat lazy wop *** to finish his girl's car. But on another note, I think you should pin it.
