Default Pinstriping yay or nay?

So my brother is getting some pin striping done on his mini cooper s for his birthday and asked me if I wanted in (twins same birthday).

Anyone have any pictures of mustangs with pin striping work done on them?

I think as long as it's not over done (too much pinstripping or too much of a contrast in colors) and follows the contours, it can look exceptional.

I personally love the pin striping if my stripes worked with pin stripes I would install them. Speaking off I want to replace my stripes so I can do just that lol.

Never been a fan of pinstriping unless it's painted on. Same goes for the vinyl racing stripes. just not my thing.

I will say that I haven't seen pinstriping on an S197 though, so who knows, maybe it'll look good

Not a fan of pinstripes on the side.

Pinstripes running along the racing stripes? If spaced nicely Yes.
Heres mine.... and yes I like the way I got em done hehe.
