    The pin stripe on mine was a hand painted dealer option. The former owner paid 900.00 for them!!! I have the receipt. I bought it used. I think they look good on my tacoma.

    The stripes are okay..I would not have paid extra for them. Maybe the truck looks "less tough" with them?
    BUT, come on man! Clean your garage and wax that thing. I bet all of the junk taking up your truck's space is not worth half of the value of the truck itself. The sun, especially where you live, is the worst enemy on a cars finish. Have a rummage sale, pitch stuff, rent a storage unit, whatever! Then give it 3 coats of DP Max wax from Auto Geeks. Good luck.

    You're a D-bag jjbeenken. Just a point of correction, he is only 62 and he is my "uncle" from across the street that used to babysit me for free when my parents went to the bar at night.
