Brian P Posted November 26, 2002 Report Share Posted November 26, 2002 it's just another reason for the dealer to charge a "prep" fee...$50 for a $3.99 roll of pinstripe that's a pretty high profit margin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luminator94 Posted November 26, 2002 Report Share Posted November 26, 2002 I think my Euro looks good with pinstriping. I don't know, maybe because it fits in with the black and red scheme so well. Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted November 26, 2002 Report Share Posted November 26, 2002 I took the pinstriping off my truck during the summer. It looks much better without it. A few years ago, I tried taking the pinstriping off my wife's '88 Cutlass. What a mess. The car had been partially repainted so on one of the rear fenders, they painted below the pinstripe. So when I peeled the pinstripe off, there is a visible paint line. Another panel had been repainted, but they painted OVER the pinstripe completely. Geez.

RedZMonte Posted November 26, 2002 Report Share Posted November 26, 2002 the owner of my lumina went CRAZY with the pin striping.. they had it down the side of the car, then 2 pinstripes up the center of the hood and one stripe around the lip of the spoiler.. It sucked taking all that crap off.. the car looked 1000X better after it was off. then i got sick of the OEM pinstripe around the bottom of my Z so i pulled it off. only think left decal wise is the rear "Chevrolet" "Z34" and the driver and passanger side "Lumina Z34" decals looks 100000x better. Then i painted my mirrors body color.. looks good. RedZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
