It seems like most or all SCs have pinstriping. My car is dark green w/ tan stripes & I think that they look like crap! They seem to take away from the sportiness of the car. So I am most likely getting my pinstripes removed next week for $80. Has anyone else done this before?? Is there anybody else who does NOT like pinstriping on the SC, or do most people have them?? Do you think $80 sounds too steep?

Ya my 94 400 doesnt have pin stripes but I have soon a couple of SCs with them. I havent really seen too many. Most SCs I see dont have any pin stripes. I think they are sooo ugly on just about any car. I cant stand them. I would pay like $100 to get them off if I had them on my car. My moms old 96 explorer had pin stripes and when I was at the dealership I peeled some of it off and it seemed to come off pretty quick without leaving anything behind but then again that was a ford not a Lexus
lol opps my 95 SC400 not 94

Be glad it's only costing you 80 bucks (it should be free if you did it yourself). I have to live with the unfortunate reality that my pinstripes are painted on and then clear-coated, so as far as I know there is going to be no easy solution to get rid of them :-/

I wouldn't ask for pinstripes, but IMO, it is that much better when you're sleeper dusts the competition.

I bought my black sc300 and it has tan sticker stripes, put over painted red ones. As soon as I get my turbo installed, the whole car is getting repainted. I cant STAND them!

...but my car doesn't have them.
I saw a few SC's with them at the Carson meet, and they looked ok- especially the ones that are interrupted with the Circle L logo just forward of the door.
Johnny- I'll take yours if you don't want them.

Here are the pics I said I'd try to get. They came out pretty badly, probably because I only have access to a polaroid camera
But here are the pinstripes that will soon be no more!

And the absolute WORST of all! The little stripe in the rear beneath my SC300 emblem. Yuck! :eek: Once again sorry for the bad quality, hopefully a digicam will be on the way soon.
