Yea get the stick on stuff and drive it around, see if you like it or not. If you do, get it done in paint by a professional. If you don't like it, go to a car wash, get it all soaked and peel it off haha.

pinstriping
You can get pinstriping from most Auto Body / Paint supply stores. You may try
keying in 3M stripe colors on the web and there is a site that I found not too long
ago. The colors are for for 07 but they should still work. I got a roll of Silver
metallic with another name attached to it for around $16.00. Yeah, not cheap
but it will last a long time. Do you know anyone who works in a body shop ?
Usually there is plenty of excess pinstriping tape in stock. You might be able
to get it free or pay a couple of $$ ?
EDIT : Here is the link for the color chart. http://www1.futureelectronics.com/do...UTIONS/740.pdf

pinstriping
.....There is No Real Set Measurement that I know of.
I used a blue masking tape ( 3/4") and tore off 4 - 5 small strips
and placed them side by side lllll with various lengths.
Use starting points such as the end of Qtr panel, Door Edge , Door handle
edge to place your masking tape markers. ALWAYS cut enough pinstripe to
allow for stretching and trimming off. 8 - 12" is always good. It's a little tricky
to apply but it's not hard. Pick your starting point ...... stick.....and walk to your
end point.......kneel down and lay it down gently.......if you like it......use a rag and
press it down......then pull clear off.......taper the top stripe over the bottom....
and trim off with exacto blade......
Hope this helps ?
