Opinion on pin stripes.

o.0 this thread is still active? lol...

 

pin stripes are not factory they are dealer installed or port installed

 

Is there a difference? They are installed before you get the vehicle. It doesn't matter WHERE the options are installed!

 

I. Hate. Pinstripes.

 

I never thought about them till I read this poll/thread. I went outside and picked at them a little and what do ya know they started coming off very easily. No hair dryer needed. Pulled them all off then cleaned off the slight residue and waxed the area. I definitely like it a lot better now with them off. I went ahead and ditched the dealership sticker too.

 

I ditched my pin stripes soon after I bought my truck. I hated how they looked.

 

If the pin stripes are hand painted and dividing a two tone paint scheme, they look good and serve a great purpose. Otherwise, get rid of them.

 

pin stripes suck

 

You guys realize they've been off since like... 10 months ago right?

 

I got a few light ones, I try to keep it more of a maul crawler than mall crawler. Yet, still I try to avoid the nasty ones if I can help it lol...

 

Lol.. I had a ranger once... yea. The tacoma is a real truck lol. I do wish I had the 4x4 though, but a least I do have a locker Locker makes those 70mph runs in dry washes fun.

 

Yea, honestly I liked the ranger except for the fact it kept dying, didn't look as good ect... It did drive nice when... it drove. I liked the smaller size, but I also like the bigger size of the Tacoma now that I've become accustomed to it. Typically most Rangers are solid little trucks... though I've seen few over 200k...

 

Pinstripes on a 2nd gen Taco = Major suckage!

 

Pinstripes are usually installed by the dealer as part of a "value package" that is installed on all of their vehicles. Usually with other items like a bug deflector and etched anti theft serial numbers on the windows. The dealer usually over charges for the items just to make a few extra bucks off their "valued" customers.

Personally, I don't like them. I'd remove them along with any dealership advertisement that they usually stick on the tailgate or in the form of a "free" plate frame.

Cheers

 

i took mine of this past weekend i am happy i did that i like simplicity !!!!!!

 

I dont like it, take it off.

 

1985 called, they want their pinstripes back. Seriously, imo they look wrong on newer vehicles.

 

I hope not not factory.. dealer maybe, but probably not factory

 

my plate frame was off as soon as I got home. I'm glad they didn't put stickers..
