Looks real nice. I hope they are painted on versus vinyl.

Looks nice! Seems to enhance the character lines.

Subtle but effective. I like that they curve around the rear to the trunk lid.
Was this done at the dealership or elsewhere?

Thanks guys...yes, I like the way they flow with the design of the car also...it wasn't done at the dealership but a local bodyshop near my home. I'm not one for pinstripping myself but somebody suggested it and it really does set it off in my PO.

Thanks guys...I'm pretty happy with them. If I were to do Viper racing stripes, I would have to photoshop them on something like this...my version of the 2012 ES 350....lol

Aren't those double stripes? Do you mind telling me what something like that costs? Thanks.

I say whatever works for you. I also think that stripes are 80's and dated, but on this car they don't look bad...Cheers!!

I love the stripes!!! Especially the way it goes around the back of the car. I have been thinking about getting it on my black ES 350. Don't know if I should get tan because of the interior or silver because of the chrome handles. I guess the 80's style is coming back around.

Thanks for the feedback all....to answer your questions, I spent about $125 for the pinstripes....yes it's 2 lines instead of one. I also picked 2 different colors...one is gray and the other green...also I loved the 80's...lol, cheers
