Need some pin stripe ideas!
So I decided to redo the pin stripe on my formula, but I'd like to keep it 80's a theme because of the wheels. Silver and gold would be the ideal colors since I'm redoing the formula decals too. I'm open to other colors, but mainly 80's designs.

I would leave the stripe off if it was my car. The lines of the car are nice and clean and being one color there is not need for the break up of a stripe.

I agree, leave the pin stripe off. It looks better without it. I'd look into getting the damage repaired before I worried about a pin stripe.

But anyways, I guess it's about preferences. I want to put one back on, it also makes it stand out from others.

Re: Need some pin stripe ideas!
pin striping was like white walls. It classed a car up and made them appear more luxurious. A Camaro and Firebird do not show well with pinstripes unless it's the Berlinetta, the classy Camaro. Muscle cars, performance cars, hot rods, etc don't look right with pinstripes. The only pinstriping that works is when it's used to separate paint colors and is painted on itself!
