I will get the Camo green here in June once the Scions reach Indiana....my fiance feels it would look better with pin striping on the sides.......what color pin striping do you suggest? personally I cant think of any color that would work with the camo green as for pin striping....the stripes will be in your usual spots right under the side windows nothing on the hood

 

Since the camo color is a little dark and muted maybe a bright color would work for the pin stripes... white or yellow?

 

Thats a tough one I had some extra stripe tape laying around and layed a stripe on my xb I thought it looked horible it just didnt go with the style of the car. I got the opinion of a few people and they agreed. Glad I used that tape and didnt have someone brush it on. I would suggest you do the same. You might like it or like me you might hate it. Thats my 2 cents

 

what about like a pewter or a titanium grey color maybe? she thinks black but i really cant see that

 

maybe bronze?

 

Black would be my first choice on camo for a pin stripe

White would look good as well, but if it were me wanting a pin stripe, I would go black

 

I would go with a tan stripe and then save up for some katzkin leather seats with the camo fatigue inlay to get a military motif goin....or just go with the light gray, not silver stripe.

 

Stripes don't look bad if done right. Look at DOC's Hot lava, while following him the other night I commented to my fiance how nice they looked. His run all the way around the rear as well. I believe they are a muted yellow color (don't kill me DOC if I just butchered the color), but they look great!

I would try a Silver Metalic stripe.

 

Mine is Pearl...and thanks Shawn....let me see if I have pics of the striped camo...


Doc

 

I was going to say go with a tan color also. You dont want to just pick a color out of a hat and throw it on there. Its always good to have it match with something. Maybe a chrome strip would also look good. You just have to come up with an overall look that you want to go for then picking a color is easy. You definately want to go for a color that stand out though thats the whole point of striping. Tan striping with tan leather seats sounds like a good idea to me though. Then you could match with bronze rims. Ok i'll stop now its not my car

 

Here is a camo with a pin....don't mind me though, it was a Scion Rally Race action shot!!!





Doc

 

i stay home now after seeing that pic :oops:

 

yea now that is what I am talking about ....thanks bro

 

Doc,

I just noticed the hyperlink to your car and I must say that is the best looking RS I have seen. Clean, Simple, Classic, and Unique. I noticed you could remove the tape on the windows, just never have seen it on a stock car color. Front tint looks great too. What color did you end up using? Is it a good match to the rear? :D :D :D :D :D :D

 

Thanks Ron, I am liking the way it is turning out. The front tint is 25% and we put 5% over the back. There are a few other things I plan on doin, I think I am gonna change the pearl pin striping to a silver metalic to match the grill and the rims....
But thanks for the comments, I wish I had 2 of them like you!!!


Doc

 

Doc,
Do you have any plans for fog or driving lights?

 

I think that a hot lava colored pinstrip job on a camo would look nice. Sort of like the bright orange hunters jacket over the camo, when you go huntin' .

honey huntin' :twisted: :?: :twisted:

 

I do, just waiting for the money!!!


Doc

 

Doc,
Are you thinking stock fogs or aftermarket?? :?

 

I am gonna go stock and change the bulbs, til nice fitting aftermarkets are made...


Doc
