Pin stripes
Hello Corvette fans.
Have any of you had old school pin stripes done on your c7's. Next round of mods I was thinking about some nice fine lines to highline the cars sexy lines.
If you seem any could you attach a pic.
Thank you, stay cool.

The styling of the car is already visually overly busy. Adding pin stripes would push it beyond over the top.

In limited application, I think pinstripes could be visually appealing. Do what you feel you would like - you are the one paying for the car.

Just to be clear, I’m not trying to make fun of another forum member. If I remember correctly, the member who posted the picture saw this car parked on a street. Clearly someone who took pin striping to the extreme. Obviously, we can all do whatever pleases us to our own cars.

I wholesaled cars in the late 70s & early 80's and pinstriped all the cars but did it so it looked factory. I can't appreciate the look of pinstripe on a C7.

Taste is subjective.
Personally, I think pinstripes cheapen the look of the car.
