right now i have just silver pin stripes on my truck, i want to take it off but however the paint under it is really bad...so i need to keep something there, so i was kickin around ideas on some SMALL subtle body graphics around the pin stripe area.

if anyone has seen some subtle body graphics they've seen i'd love to hear about them. Thanks

What about the flame pin striping from an HD F150?
 






the flame pinstriping from a harley f150 is like 300 bucks.. how about some regular old flamed pinstriping, i have a roll of 1/2 inch grey flamed pinstriping i'd sell you for $10. I paid way more than that for it, but ended up not using any pinstripe at all.
 






another option no pin stripes @ all

The paint might not be as bad as you think. I had a 91X painted that forest green w/the tan pin stripes and used a heat gun to remove it and then buffed out the truck w/a high speed buffer and some compound. I did this on at the time 7 year old X. You could never tell that there was anything ever there.
Good luck

no the paint is really bad, in some areas its almost like when i took the old old pinstripes off (i have since put different ones on) the old pinstripes like took off the clear coat in some areas.....there is a noticable drip in the paint in some parts of the truck where the pinstripes once where..i don't understand either i used a hair drier to remove the pinstripes the first time too.........but good thought :)
