Default Stripes ?

I saw an NX200t with pin stripes in a parking lot. Didn't like it. Someone suggested to me and thought it would look awesome having them at the bottom of the doors at the crease line....I'm not liking the idea very much, and can't visualize but thought it would be interesting to see what others think ? Anyone thought of doing that ?

Pin stripes are so yesterday!

Seriously they seem like a personal choice thing, but are dated looking IMO.

I agree ! They use to slap pin stripes on everything and everywhere. The lines of the NX are beautiful as they are.

+1 on taking a pic before making any comments.

But if it's more like a thicker chrome strip like this, personally my cup of tea!

Default Pinstriping

I was looking into doing pinstriping on my NX. I was going to follow the lines of the car and under the headlights. Not just stripes but some nice hand done graphics. I am getting together with the artist when he is back in town. Will let you know what I decide. I want a draw up done before I have any stripes done on the car.

I thought about this briefly but love the lines on the NX so much I don't want to rock the boat.

The nice thing is one can try it and can be easily removed if it looks tacky. But lets not forget that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

You can always go to the Count and have Horney Mike put some skulls on it
