Pinstriped CX-5?

[JonW]

I'm thinking of getting some simple pinstripes on the sides of my CX-5. If you have any on yours, can you please post a picture in this thread to give me some ideas?

Thanks.

I would've asked my dealer to give me a discount for a pinstriped car. Thankfully it wasn't! Most pinstriping I've seen doesn't enhance the look of the car/follow the lines. Tacky, if anything. Sorry!

Like body-side protective moldings, I thought pinstripes are the things of 90's...

Yeah, I haven't seen dealers putting pinstripes on their new cars for a while.

Mine came with the pin stripe from the dealer. I actually like it better with than without especially since it's a white car.

It's nice but it's a bit old fashioned.

My only thought is why didn't it follow the lines of the vehicle. It's just a straight line with no relation to the contours of the CX5.

Looks like it's been "keyed"!

Mine has a much nicer pinstripe,

It is a little hard to see, but it is directly underneath the bottom of the windows.

I would have preferred no pinstripe, but it came that way from the dealership.

They can be easily removed you know.

I agree...

Same here. The CX-5 has beautiful lines and light catchers that most pin striped won't match...

Real (Paint not Tape) would be OK and could follow the contours better. Just hard to find folks who still do the paint thing.
