Just bought a new ES 350

Is the Dealer the only Option to have simple pin striping applied?

Maybe the dealer is the best . . . . . but does anyone have any suggestions??

Just like tint and clearbra, most likely the dealer does not do pinstriping.
Usually it is a specialist from body shop or tinting shop, that comes and does the job on the dealers lot as needed. Dealer just adds a markup on top of what the guy charges.
You pay.

Pin Striping went out of date in 1976. No need for it on any modern car. If you just must for some odd reason have pin striping, then any body shop can do it. You can do it yourself. It isn't exactly hard to do.

^^^^I disagree. IMHO, it is hard to do. All the body shops I know do not do pinstripes themselves. They usually contract with a local guy that travels from shop to shop on call to do the pinstripes. Now, I'm talking about paint pinstripes not the tape strips, which IMO peal and don't look all that great. In, my area, I know who does the pinstripes and I contact him directly when I get a new vehicle, that way, I get exactly what I want.

I met him, when I was riding Harleys, I have since, at my wife's request, given it up. He did a beautiful job on my tank. And, no matter what anyone says, he is, again IMHO, a true artist.

If you want to see a true auto paint artist, go on the website www.killerpaint.com and go through the gallery of pictures. Maybe a tastefully done set of flames are in your ES350's future.
