Should I add pinstripes

Here is a pic of my car (prior to the scoop, no new good ics yet)

https://www.cobaltss.net/gallery/sho...3&userid=10411

Do you guys think I should add some black pinstripes down the side? Can anybody here photoshop it with some stripes so I can see what it would look like. I run a body shop and have never been a huge fan os stripes, but have started thinking about them lately. Thanks for the input.

Just the traditional thin top thicker bottom stripe with a 1/8 in gap in between them.

If all else fails I can put them on and if I don't like them, they are just decals. They will come off easily.

The photoshop makes me not want to do it although I know they won't be that bold.

imo it may work if you changed the headlights from red to black... the ss headlights have a coating or somthing on the inside of the lense that makes the color match look a lil off.

I didn't think of that one. I guess the genral consensus is that I should not do it. I appreciate the advice.

I agree. I won't be adding any pinstripes to it. I was thinking about doing a stripe kit like yours, but I don't like copying people. And I hate it even more when people copy me. Luckily though, nobody has painted their resevoir caps like mine nor painted the spoiler end caps. Yet

Why does everyone hate pinstripes so much?
