I have not seen any C7's with pinstripes.

^ I haven't seen any either, in fact don't seem to see many cars with pin-stripping period these days. Not as popular as it once was.

I see lots of cars with pin-stripes, but I have never seen a Corvette with them other than a few photos. None of them a C7. Pin-stripes just don't belong on a Corvette IMO.

I believe there's body designs where lines tend to support pin-stripping better than others. Corvettes, especially C7s are not one of them in my opinion. I did have pin-stripes on a 77 Stingray back in the day, which I liked at the time, however pin-stripping was very popular then.

Seen a few with pin striping on the hood, best left alone.

While I like the strips I had done to my car, I saw a slightly different version of the same style for the hood that I like even better. If I did them again I would use these proportions. Stripes done artistically don't go out of style.
