Should I?????
Permalink  

  I was in the garage tonight for a bit, and thought I'd see what the BelAir lookied like with some pinstripes.
   Now I don't know whether I like it or not.  What do you guys think?

Unless they could have come on the car from factory, stripes don't do much for me either. It's just an opinion as well. I have seen your car at the High River show and I thought it looked great the way it was!

Wow Ken, I think the jury has spoken!

My reasoning for it is that it takes away from the cool "plain" look of the 2 door post cars.

My car had white pinstripes since I owned it, I took them off last season, so that's my vote.

im going with no also unless you did some sort of real painted pinstripe, but even that might not look right.

OK, So I take it nobody like the Stripe...LOL, It Has Been Removed! I was thinkin it didn't look right on the post either. It might be OK on a convert or a HT model.
Thanks, for your Input....

   OK,  So I didn't stripe the BelAir, But I did stripe my truck.  It had gold stripes on it as well as the gold on the lower with a red stripe.  I figured it looked better with the red on the upper as well.  I don't like gold stripes on a black vehicle....Unless of course Burt Reynolds is driving it...LOL
