Pinstripes

[Fuel 100]

I put white pinstripes on my Charger this weekend. I wanted to see what the white decals would look like on my black paint. I like it, it's subtle and highlites the lines of the car. They may come off if I decide to put larger decals on.

I also painted my calipers black. They don't show up too well. Not too enthused about this mod, but it looks OK.

Third mod of the weekend, which I don't recommend to anyone, was installing the front license plate. YUK!!!!!

I just finished putting on my caliper stickers. Here are some pics.

They were taken in my shop, so they are not real good.

Like the stickers.. .might do that myself. Just so-so on the stripes, but hey, its your car, makes it your own and I'm all for that

I'm not too big on the pinstripes either. I ordered rally stripes from rev motors and should be able to put those on next weekend.

They had pin striped on my Silver Steel SXT when it was on the dealer lot, I asked them to remove them before I took ownership.
It was "MY" feeling that the crisp sharp lines of the Charger were enough, and putting a stripe just made me see the strip, and I no longer saw the "big hips" body line.

I agree. I put Daytona-style quarter panel stripes on my R/T, and a few weeks later I took them off. Although they're supposed to accent the hips, it seemed to me that it actually hid them...your eye was drawn to the stripe, not to the sexy hips. :)

I hope this isn't a hijacking...I feel your pain. I anguished over having my plate frame put on my SXT. But being military, you have to obey the state laws and since I'm a Texas resident with a Texas registered car, I had to have the front plate. I could have left it in the dash, but that's not safe and when I have my kids in the car, I wouldn't have liked it. I guess I was lucky when I traded to the RT, it already was on, so didn't have to worry. IMHO, it doesn't look too bad on the car. I have thought of having the frame painted to match the car color, but that's a mod for way down the road.
My car had pin striping when I bought her too, and I get lots of compliments on it, so I will be leaving it on.
On the other side, where did you get the caliper stickers? It looks good.

I hear ya. That third mod was painful. Oh well, we have to do what we have to do.
