Default TO stripe or not to stripe

Was wondering how gray PIN stripes ((has the 2 thick stripes and then 2 thin stripes on the outside of the 2 stripes)) on a convertible would look..not asking if you like or dont like stripes at all, just asking if they look OK on convertibles?

((i want grey stripes to match maybe the greyish fr500rims))

do not buy pinstripes for your car. it will not look as good as you think it will.

some racing stripes? sure...but do not put pinstripes on a mustang.

strips are ok, I'm just not sure about them on a vert. I'd say save your money for something else.

Someone suggested to me flat black. Would be a subtle color change, and would keep the dark look.
