Don't do it! The car already has nice lines and I think it will break up those lines and imho pinstripes make a car look dated.

I don't think I would do it personally on mine, but like he said...its your car. They can be removed easily too. If you do, do it, post some pictures for the community to see!

Thanks everyone for the input, still deciding on this. I may just leave as is. I just wish that I could see an example of one already done however it seems
no one is doing this, although here in PA the only RC 350 that I have seen on the roads is my RC.

I live in PA, where are you located. PA is a big state and there are plenty of RC's on the road now...atleast where I live.

Hi Suv12k, my entry should not have implied the entire state, I have only seen 1 RC350
in a shopping center parking lot.
Is your 2015 still running well? I live outside of Philly.

I just picked up a CPO 2015 Obsidian Luxury that had a subtle silver and nebula gray pinstripe; don't love it/don't hate it.Still a gorgeous car and the pinstripe is subtle enough not to distract. Too new to board to post pic.

How about now, seen more yet? My 2015 still runs like it did when I purchased it new off the lot but then again it has less than 20K miles on it. I tend to believe in the reliability of Japanese makes/models from my personal experience.I also live outside of philly in chester county.

I would love to see some pics from someone who has the pin striped installed still!
