When I bought my car, it had a beige/yellow pin stripe on it. I hated the thing with a passion. It then grew on me but I eventually had it removed when I Xziloned my car. In retrospect, I should have kept it because it made my car different from all the other Jet blacks but it made the car have a more "old man" look to it. Here's a pic of the car:

Don't have any pics, but wanted to counter balance the posts here... feel free to do what you want it is your car after all... who knows, maybe you can put together a pin stripe that everyone here will gawk at? Hey, anything's possible

Stripes (pin stripes or racing stripes) only look good on vintage cars where they belong.

After I thought about it for awhile, and searched for pictures, I couldn't come up with anything that was better with pinstripes than without. So maybe pinstripes are never better than none at all.

I had no trouble finding the Mustang Boss 302 I was looking for where stripes work.

Here is one example:

get M-sport kit and a lip to make the car look more boxy and ill bet the stripes will look pretty good... if by pinstriping you mean those racing stripes that look like they go on a mustang

a nice and subtle pinstripe looks decent on some cars. i haven't seen any e90s however that have looked good with them. but then again, it's your car!

i couldn't resist
