Custom Pinstriping Piks: 07 GS350
Had my GS350 pinstriped out here in the desert by Scotty Harvill and he hand-paints them onto the car. Takes about 7 days to fully cure but it is worth it! The lines of the GS get lost in the Starfire Pearl color, so we followed the line that I like most about Lexus these days, the flare from the fender to the hood (the IS is the best; don't care for the flattened look on the new LS; the GS is a very good second
).
Anywho, here's the front shot and I'll have to do a new thread of the other two shots. Hopefully, I'll lurn (haha) how to post multiple photos like some of you experts.
Cheers

Second Shot
Hopefully you can see how the pinstripes make the GS look more aggressive from this shot.
Also, you can see my deluxe (4-sensor) after-market parking assist system. The black sensors (standard) will be painted Starfire Pearl next week. Not bad, seeing that we saved $7,000 by getting the only 07 left without a Nav system.

Third and last shot
Here's a better close up of the tail pinstripe. Maybe I'll try taking a "down the line" shot again when the sun isn't so bright. Whew! I don't know if I can handle this 83 degree CA weather out here in the winter

The fact that the pinstripes were hand painted in what looks to be a very professional and tasteful manner makes them more acceptable (IMO) than the usual stick-on decal type. Nice. 
P.S. It must take a VERY steady hand to do work like that!
