Default Whatdaya think: Gold Pinstripes on Black Z?

Has anyone got gold pinstriping on a black Z, or any Vette, or any color pinstripe? Pics? Thoughts?

here's a thought....


NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOO







j/k!!! I never liked the pinstipping the dealer adds before they sell it however, if your talking about tasteful, flyin-eyeball von dutch stlye than maybe, but its gotta be on the right spot and match the vehicles style correctly. I would do silver instead of gold but thats just me, a young punk kid with no idea what happened at normandy!!

How about some vinyl for the hood? Never saw a Z with pinstriping but hey it's your car. What design do you have in mind Dave?

I'm thinking the real deal, not a lot but subtle, the kinda thing you have to look at twice before you say "oh yeah, I thought I saw that." I'm not sold on the idea, but

Thought about pinstriping on my coupe then decided on something a bit more bold.

I think pinstriping looks ok if done properly.

Cool........

Maybe you can drive cover for a Semi with an illegal load. Wait, you need a large gold eagle on the hood, too.

Not my cup of tea. But, only you can be you. If you want it, get it.

Good Luck...

IMO, you can pull it off with some creativity, just be careful not to overdo it.

I suggest a contrasting look with one of these wheels? The second wheel has an OK look (mesh overdone) but the center is too glossy, a matte finish with brushed lips (no chrome) would be much nicer on a black car.

huh? Apparently you didn't get the memo..... it's called sarcasm, try it some day, it might help you deal with your literature.

I am completely informed of what this country went through and others to give our/my generation what it has today. I was referring to the fact that i'm young, perspectively, and thus a parody of the general feel of what kids these days are like....

anyways

I think you can pull it off, but again, its like a tattoo; it has to be on the right spot, angle, color of choice, theme, etc.

Are you thinking of a whole car or long pinstripe or something small or secluded to a specific area? I think the rear deck, the flat part after the rear window ends, you can do a modern style of pinstripe there.

Or, well, on the hood would be to obvious, unless that is what you want. How about on the roof, by the top of the rear glass? There is just some many things or ways you can take this.

Again, if done tastefully and with style, i can dig it!! Me, well, it would pick another color instead of gold!
