IMO, the C5's have the rounded features that aren't conducive to pin stripes, at least length-wise down the sides. Hood, yes, some graphics, yes.
Google C5 with pinstripes, then click images, you should get some ideas.

I know you didn’t ask for opinions, I however feel that pin stripes tend to date a car, or in general make it appear less sleek or modern. Again, I know you didn’t ask, so I apologize for saying my piece.
hash marks however, oh man. I know C5 never had a grand sport (although the FRC (which is what I have) is basically the same role) but I get so many compliments on my hash marks.
