it looks alright. it reminds me of the older soarers (SC300/400) =D. But i still think it looks best and cleanest without the stripe.

I say without. Pinstripes never looked good to me on any car. I can understand if it's one of those Vinyls that runs down the side, but pinstripes...

I think if you go pinstripe, try it from the front to the back...going on top of the car(not the glass-just hood, rear and front bumpers, and hatch) and offset it a little bit to one side, preferrably passenger side.

Whoa calm down.

First off, yeah some pin stripes suck, but thats because their poorly done. Pin striping is a beautiful artwork especially if hand painted on.

As for pin stripes on the tc, my old one had it before it was totalled and it looked beautiful on the car. However the location where the pin stripes are in these pictures is wrong for this car. It should be following the upper body line which is right under the window and going back to the rear quarter curve. Thats where it looks awsome.


I've been studying lexus design and all that and been thinking that with chrome pin stripe and chromeing the trim around the exterior windows on the passanger and drivers side it will make the car look sexy. Im also gonna try getting some chrome door handles.
