Those aren't pinstripes, they're rally stripes. I would leave that for true sports cars. I think it will look ridiculous on a sedan.

I agree with the others. Don't do it. It look out of place on a luxury sedan.

I like it! I think it looks good. It's your car, do what makes you happy,who cares what others think.

if you do it, use a company that wraps cars, that way the stripe can just be removed without having the value of the car take a hit.

This is pinstripe which I have on my GS and I'm not a big fan of it. But I'm gonna leave it as it is.

On an ISF, maybe. On a GS? No way.

Perhaps a good compromise would be to do one in a similar color to your GS. For instance, if your car is the blue one in the picture, do a darker blue for the rally stripe.
Personally, I've been thinking about doing something a little different. I want to try laying down a racing stripe with a clear satin vinyl. That way, it's a much more subtle difference in stripes.
Either way, do what you want to do. Your car, your money.
