Default Rally Point for tC's with Pinstripes.

Here's mine that I'm experimenting with.

I like the front , in a way . I hate the tail though . It looks like you put tape on it . Lol . I know you did but , you want it to blend and it does not on the tail . Only my opinion of course .

^Yeah. You're not the only one who doesn't like the tails. They're not permanently on there anyways.

i dont like, i think it ruins th elines of the car. The rear just doesnt match the car and the front detracts from the hood lines and makes you focuse on the hood, fender, grill cap instead of teh body line.

Again...... If your cars have pinstripes, post in here.
Especially tC's with a 2 tone paint job.
Or if you have racing stripes.

I would have to see it with the whole pics. of the car to judge. It looks tacky when it's close up. You can see the individual pinstripe edges in the 1st pics.

I suggest you to make it thinner. Front looks okay but if you make rear stripes thinner that that, it will look better IMO

Eh...not my style. I have a new disdain about pinstripes after what I saw in the parking lot at my work the other day. It was a CSM tC with black and neon green pinstripes on the side. It gets better...as I worked my way from the back to the front, I noticed the same pinsrtipes on the hood. (BTW-It had matching green "Fox" stickers on both quarter windows.) What really made me ill was the neon green gutter guard upper AND lower grills. It was a scary sight for sure!

Your stripes are at least subtle. I agree with them beings a little too thick. Props for being original.

I thought about pins when I was ordering my car . I have always used pins . In this case , I felt it would not work well with the design of the car . I like pinstripes and we decided to try a few on mine . As I thought , it looked awful . Pinstripes on this design detracts from the " class " factor . This was designed by Lexus . regardless of the price , it has a classy body . Pins on a two-tone would be fine but , not on one color . Of course , if class is not what you are after , try the pins . Some may like them . I found them to take away from the design .
Good luck

Interesting . Unless they worked together , it is confusing . Lexus was said to have guided the exterior design and took almost 13 months to bring it to fruition . Something as simple as how the doors close with a nice weighty sound . You are the first I have heard of this . Even the Toyota guys here have some literature attesting to this . Regardless , it is a class car at a reduced price . That is the point here . Again , if you think pins will work , go for it . You might like it

I like the tails SCIONOSIS, but agree that the head light stripes should be a little bit thinner. Say, about half of what they are now.
I like seeing new ideas though.

Here's the whole pics.



BTW, I just bought this car from my cousin 6 months ago. He had the stripes already put on the tails. I just did the headlights.
