Default Lets see your Pinstripes!

My car just came out of the paint booth today and I'm trying to decide how to do the Pinstripes and I need ideas.


Thanks!!!

I have a few questions for you. Is it still red? do you still have the hooker side exhaust?

I just checked out your site and see you had it pinstriped before. The only pinstripes that I have seen on a C3 that I like are the way you had it before. Thin stripes following the contours of the fenders. I also like the stripes you had on the hood. My opinion is do it exactly the same. If it is not still red, you might want to think about different color stripes such as white or silver on a dark color car.

Yes - it's still red but it doesn't have the sidepipes anymore. The only thing that I have come up with is to put them back where they were before. I haven't see enough to know if I want more than that yet.

My humble opinion, worth what you paid for it.....

Don't. Let the clean lines of the car speak for itself. The chrome bumper C3 doesn't need any additional stripes to make it stand out. Your sig pic looks great and I wouldn't change a thing.
