How about silver pin stripes? I've never seen it, but think it would add a nice subtle touch on a white car.

I think that it would look really cool if you pinstriped in the heritage stripes. Maybe red, or something really bright so that they get noticed.

I useally don't like pin stripes either but I have got to do something. The car is artic white with black hood louvers, limo black t-tops, black forth gen z28 emblems and 17 inch chrome american racing wheels, it just looks like its missing something. The interior is burgundy so I was thinking about doing a small double line upper pin stripe in burgundy. What do yall think?

I don't see the problem. I just sold a car last year that looks almost exactly as you describe, and have been kicking myself in the a** ever since. I think it looked perfect just the way it was.

that car needs nothing but to be kept clean all the time

it is a shame to put pinstripes and stickers on a car like that

maybe on a buick or a camry but not the third gens

your car looks great just the way it is.

Here's a pic of mine with painted pin stripes as well as some lettering on the hood, lower front fenders, and also the rear spoiler. I like the striping and lettering since it was popular back when I was young.

pinstrips

Actually, I have the same dillenma as you...I am thinking of putting burgandy strips down my car, (hood, spoiler, around the detail on the hood even though the interior is red...yay.. I kinda got a frankenstien car...a iroc hood with the illusion of two vents, a 305, spoiler, and it is a RS naturally of the market. lol. Or to say, a clone. But I think that look would be awesome.
