Unless you have a Mullet, Bell Bottom Jeans, etc....I would pass on the Pinstripes.

I would think he was talking about professionally handpainted pinstripes ...... at least I hope he was.

I disagree. I have a tan stripe on my white 2004 LS (with tan interior) and it really makes the car. I had it installed by an afterfactory guy for $50 just after I bot the car.

Thanks man! It may be older than some of these other LS's, but I'm in love with it.

Exactly, but you have to think...people who can afford the new stuff are normally old, and think it's "in style"

No pin stipe for me. I had a painted on tan color pin strip on my Dark Blue SC400 with tan interior (Bought the car used that way) and I hated it.

Sorry to come down on you like that, I didn't mean it at the time... Just glad that another Lexus is ruined by pinstripes, or racing stripes for that matter.
