Default pinstriped and painted grille pix (56K be advised)

I finally got my car pinstriped! It was already pinstriped when I first got the car, but it was all faded, so I got it redone. Also, Tim, the pinstriper, added a little touch of his own on the door emblems. It starts at the hood grilles, makes its way down the ram air hood and down the body, and rides along the edge of the wing and meets back up at the brake light. He also outlined the front nose emblem too for a little extra flash. I painted my grilles a silver grating with a gloss black perimeter for a subtle look, as well. I snapped these pix real quick cuz I'm going for a ride on the R6 now, so they're not the best quality in the world... Also, keep in mind that the car is swirled to all hell, because I stripped the paint down bare for the pinstriping and getting it ready for polishing and all that other stuff for the next show I'm attending. Tell me what you think and enjoy!


















I just decided to take a quick pic of this also because I thought it looked cool, all lined up. These are some of the summer rides of the family, and there's more in the garage. Check my sig link for pix and info of all of them!

Don't like it. Makes it look cheesy or like something a big pickup would have.

Not something I would do but the work does look well done. As long as you like it thats all that matters. Just like my rims.. I love them, but there are others that don't. Whatever you like go for it.

wow i can't believe nobody here appreciates a good pinstriping! how about the grilles? does anyone like them at least? i think they look much better than those gaudy stainless steel inserts.

I like the pinstriping, but I think you could've incorporated it a little different to flow more (like come up along the nostrils, and go down the center section and go around the hood bird...something like that).

I think the tail and door emblems look pretty cool tho.
