Why did the dealer put on pinstripes? Did the sales person have bellbottoms on? Hideous!

I've seen this with the "Proctection Package" = pinstripe, wheel locks, trunk tray, splashguards. Its so they can justify charging $800 for this stuff that should be free or cost $80. I don't want it either.

Acura in Fort Myers Florida and Fort Walton Beach put it on all their TL's. Luckily Proctor Acura in Tallahasee where I'll be buying doesn't.

Tell them fools (your dealer) to give you another car. Pinstripes are crazy on the TL

The dealer put it on--they can take it off. I had my Honda dealer take it off my Civic several years back. Look at the car carefully before you pick it back up. It should be perfect, like the pinstriping was never there.

Geez, you guys are flipping out over this. It's kinda funny and pathetic at the same time. :p

Calm down... take a deep breath... and explain to the dealer that this was an unwanted option.

No they were painted on.. I used nail polish remover. The one with no acetate.. came off very very very easily.. took about 3 minutes to get it all off..
