Guest RedCutlassSL Posted November 25, 2002 Report Posted November 25, 2002 I finally decided to remove those 2 gaudy, tacky, silver pinstripes. It sucks. Quote
ismellrealbad Posted November 25, 2002 Report Posted November 25, 2002 AGREED! PINSTRIPING IS BLAHHHHHH Quote
musthavemuzk Posted November 26, 2002 Report Posted November 26, 2002 no kidding it sucks shortly after i got my cutty it was gone. some ppl wondered why i said cuz it is tacky imho. took sometime but i like it much better without the pinstriping. Monty Quote
Brian P Posted November 26, 2002 Report Posted November 26, 2002 it's just another reason for the dealer to charge a "prep" fee...$50 for a $3.99 roll of pinstripe that's a pretty high profit margin! Quote
Pabz Posted November 26, 2002 Report Posted November 26, 2002 I debadged the whole damn car for my paint job and i am loving it, those side door mouldings "ding protectors" take away alot from out cutty's rip em off!! Quote
ismellrealbad Posted November 26, 2002 Report Posted November 26, 2002 my car lacks the front 2 badges and i have them with me but im almost sure i like them better off than on. theres one on that back and thats plenty Quote
J Posted November 26, 2002 Report Posted November 26, 2002 i took off my badges but i am afraid to take off the pin stripe, will paint come off with it? later Jay Quote

luminator94 Posted November 26, 2002 Report Posted November 26, 2002 I think my Euro looks good with pinstriping. I don't know, maybe because it fits in with the black and red scheme so well. Aaron Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted November 26, 2002 Report Posted November 26, 2002 I took the pinstriping off my truck during the summer. It looks much better without it. A few years ago, I tried taking the pinstriping off my wife's '88 Cutlass. What a mess. The car had been partially repainted so on one of the rear fenders, they painted below the pinstripe. So when I peeled the pinstripe off, there is a visible paint line. Another panel had been repainted, but they painted OVER the pinstripe completely. Geez. Quote
RedZMonte Posted November 26, 2002 Report Posted November 26, 2002 the owner of my lumina went CRAZY with the pin striping.. they had it down the side of the car, then 2 pinstripes up the center of the hood and one stripe around the lip of the spoiler.. It sucked taking all that crap off.. the car looked 1000X better after it was off. then i got sick of the OEM pinstripe around the bottom of my Z so i pulled it off. only think left decal wise is the rear "Chevrolet" "Z34" and the driver and passanger side "Lumina Z34" decals looks 100000x better. Then i painted my mirrors body color.. looks good. RedZ Quote
