Opinion on pin stripes.

I'm about 95% positive I want to remove the dealer applied pinstripes, but there's also that small nagging bit in the back of my mind that I don't completely hate them with a raging passion and might (though highly doubt) regret taking them off. Anyway, just want to see what others think, and if someone has a pic of a stock access cab obsidian black... would help to make up my mind. Thanks in advance.

The other bit of it is, I want to do it sooner than later to prevent any color fading (also do a good wax job as well). Right now my garage is full of crap so she's sitting outside in the az sun...

 

They don't look bad.



I wouldn't get them, but it's your truck, so do what you want to it.

 

Pin stripes look horrible, IMO. But it's very subjective.

 

pinstripes are for ghetto lowriders

 

If you decide you can't live without them (after you have removed them) you can always get more put on

 

Leave 'em on... It's factory and they're subtle.

 

pinstripes dont like them, only on old school choppers

 

I think they look fine, don't really care one way or the other. The problem I noticed on my old Neon is that with age, the pinstripes have started to crack quite a bit.

 

i Meant to vote yes they suck. i just dont see them looking good.

 

i took mine off and I think it looks way better without!

 

Its hard to tell in that pic but i could go either way but voted they dont suck

 

Pinstripes suck. Remove them, you will sleep better knowing you did.

 

Pinstripes are like vacuums. They suck.

I like them on old sedans. Or low riders, and ghetto mobiles. In this world of flash where everyone wants more, flashier, bling, embellishment.

I see the beauty of less. The subtlety of clean minimalism. Of quiet conservativsm in all things.

The value of a vessel ( a large urn, a barrel, a basket) is in its emptyness. There is a certain quality and meaning to the addage, "less is more".

 

I was in the same boat as you. TAKE THEM OFF. The truck looks soo much cleaner without them.

 

Take them off. It doesn't flow right and looks odd. In my opinion, there should have been a type of sticker like that of the Dodge Charger on the side that follows the lines of the rear (it could read TRD or Tacoma).

 

Mine came off within a week of me owning the truck as well as the badging off the tailgate. I left the badging on the doors because I think it looks good with a little something.

 

They look alright, but a buddy of mine had a Sliverado that had them. And once he took them off it looked a lot better. Pull them off

 

Never been a fan of them.

 

Peel them puppies off!
