Default Pinstriping!

06 Black SS with Silver Pinstriping now.

I put the pinstriping on the sides right below the door but right above the ground effects kit - kind of where it angles outward. Sorry I don't have pictures yet.

But now that I have tons of striping left. Two questions...

1) Where can I put some more striping on my car to dress it up more?
2) Who wants it?

you can place it anywhere. I've seen it on the hood, truck, along the side to accentuate the body lines... but less is more so I'd just leave it as you have it.

The dealer did mine on the body lines in a lighter color than the paint so that it actually just accents without much contrast. Probably my favorite body line accents I've seen on a Monte.

Default pinstriping

I used 3M stripe tape to do mine and I have nearly a whole roll
left as well. I just followed the body lines on the fenders
to the doors and from the door to the quarter panel and stopped
about 5" from the tail lights. I thought about making some SS
stripes across the hood and deck lid but that's just too much.
You just want enough pinstriping on a car to compliment it
or emphasize a body line.....

I think you have enough on there already.

Less is more
