Pin Stripe With Flow Of Body

Hey Guys,
I saw on a picture on here before with a silver TL with red pinstriping on the side - just a single stripe, but it went with the flow of the body (outlined the door handle indent and so on). I thiought it looked great, but I cannot find it anymore. Heres a few questions I have

1) Has anyone done a pinstripe like this before
2) Does anyone have the picture I was talking about (original forum had to do with a photoshopped front lip spoiler)
3) Any ideas as to what thickness I should use on my car? It is AM.
4) Any brands of pinstripes that are better than others?

Thanks!

I think the pin stripe doesn't look good on our cars. Even the factory that bring the 04-06 I think.

pin strips look tacky on the TL, but I have seen Rims with pinstrip and they look pretty good. AM especially can not go with pin strip, no matter what the color.

I like the red pin stripe around the grille.. it's a nice subtle touch Not sure how I'd feel about pin striping down the entire side of the car

Different strokes/different folks

Here is mine. The pin stripe is gold and matches the brake calipers and the camel interior. It is not tape, but hand-painted.... a lost art.

It's not for everyone but I like it.

I remember my integra used to have a stripe like that ... in this case, the door-handle line is already there, so having another parallel line is a bit overkill IMO ...
