Pinstriping

I have never cared for pinstriping while my wife likes it (Uh-oh!). Today we saw a CGP TSX in a parking lot and, lo and behold, it had thin, silver pinstriping, the length of the car, about 2" under the beltline. I must admit, it looked pretty nice.
Have any of you had pinstriping applied to your car? If so, what color TSX and what color pinstriping?

Pinstriping should be saved for custom vehicles. I think most "factory" pinstriping is just silly.

I'll convey these messages to my wife, who likes it. I thought pinstriping might nicely compliment the fender skirts we had installed. ;o)

I think this combo is nice, pinstripe and all.

If I find a good color for our car I'd pay for a hand laid real painted pin stripe.

I had painted on pinstripes on my 99 Prelude, including some wiggly stripe designs on the back end of the car. It must have taken the 'artist' hours to put it on. Fortunately, I had the dealer 'erase' them before I took delivery. I can't believe the dealer thought it would help sales by having pinstripes painted on their cars as a dealer installed special.
