My pinstripes are coming up and are looking like crap and so they HAVE to be removed. Though I know many people don't like them, how much would it cost to get new ones put on? Depending on the cost I would like to get some others put on in a different color, so how much? If you think I should leave them off, then you should give me a good reason why.

Thank You,

Mike

I think you should leave them off but it is my personal opinion. I like the clean look.

You can buy new pin stripe at any automotive store and with a little skill and a sharp eye, do it your self.

Otherwise call a few body shops. Most of them have a pretty good stock of pinstripe.

My dad works with an insurance company who sends cars to the shop to have them repaired. I could tell you the exact price if he was here, but he is in Tampa
 






Any Car place should have them. Hell even Kmart has them I think!! If thats what you like, go for it. They look good on our '02. They make a nice subtle touch, and seperate the car.
 






I just need to start by removing them and see how I like the look. Hell, I may just leave them off. I want to get a chip sometime in the spring or summer so I think that I could save the stripe money and put it towards something useful. Go before show, right? I don't want any cheap crappy stripes though that will peel off like the ones I have now, so I'm thinking that I'll stay away from KMart ones. If anyone has any idea of the actual cost or a range I'd really appreciate it. Thanks for the info so far guys.
