To Pinstripe or Not....

Okay folks, I had a nice silver tape pinstripe on my black '98 Integra GSR (may it rest in peace) that looked really sweet. Question now is....should I get one put on my anthracite '03 CL Type-S? If so, should it be a painted one or a taped one? And also, what color?

NO, I think any kind of pinstriping would look fugly. But, if it floats yer boat, that's all that really matters.....

There was a black pinstripe on my '03 Aegean Blue CL when I picked it up. I didn't like it immediately. I decided to try it out for a day. Didn't change my mind. I came back the next day and got them to take it off. Obviously black on blue isn't the best, but I saw white on blue, it doesn't look bad, but it doesn't look any better. The lines are perfect the way they are.

If you come to the Pavillions on sat for our little meet you'll be able to see Anthony's CL with painted pinstripe. I personally would go without it, but this will give you an opportunity to see what it looks like in person.

Mr. 4PumpedCL, you have got to take some pics so we can mock it and stage a trial to persecute the owner!

Pinstripes are for Buicks and Olds in a (failed) attempt to make them look less grandfather-ish.

Salesman: "We'll throw in these HOT RACING pinSTRIPES if you buy today!!!"

Pinstripes are sort of the original domestic rice. Hahahah

Lines of the CL are FAR from perfect, but a stripe sucks IMO. I either ask for no stipe or rip the SOB off.

once you finish the pinstripe throw on some 13 inch rims with 50's and while your at it throw on a chain sterring wheel and gold plate everything you can on it, oh yeah get that big fuzzy dice to hang off your rearview and put on the winsheild the make and model of your car using those letters you buy at the home depot, you know the one they use to letter or number a mailbox or apartment building door. You get my point! Just kidding man.:P
