the hood stripe looks ok, it definitely gives a more aggressive look, but I cant help but think "baseball." not as crazy about the rear one though.

I think it would fit more with one of these two grills although im not sure they are interchangeable with yours.

Looks pretty bad IMO. The rear is just so random, doesn't flow with any lines on the body.

I came in here expecting



I was disappointed.

Personally, I'm not a fan of pinstripes on anything other than rat rods and whatnot.

Word, ratrods and classics are about all I dig em on.


Your craftsmanship looks good, don't get me wrong. I just don't like the look

^ absolutely. The pinstripes appear to be perfectly straight and look good for what they are. That being said, again, I just don't think pinstripes look "at home" on an import (or any newer car for that matter).

I don't see what you were trying to do with it.... just random lines? why?

the pinstripping was purely for my personalization of my car,no statement is made,its all in the matter of personal take,after all its me that parks the car at the end of the day,I have to look at it everyday,I feel proud of my little flare,not too much,not over board,not offensive,I see these cars all over they come out one color the next year the factories start making two tones,then later the dealers start to dress up their cars with decals and stuff,but the car still remain virtually the same,I see so many now on the road with no flare,except for the lowriders with the the sewing machine exhausts blaring out the back,lights glowing out from the under chassis,trying to be a toyko drift car,they are fancy to look at alot of money being spent on this,all in the eye of the beholder,I don't have a nascar number plastered on the doors,no manufacturing logo's either,just a few simple black strips to go along with the white and black trim of my new car-I appreciate your honesty in your opinions and I asked for them,( my mistake ) but if a guy posts a few pics of his car and I don't have any productive comment to say,I would just say nothing, you guys say it looks aweful,but given no real ideas that would make it pop out and look cool,except for a few good comments,.try not to look too deep into things that are just not there.
