Pin Stripes

[bgrif005]

Do any of you have pics of factory pin stripes on the NBS's. I will be putting some on my W/T to make it look less "fleet." I am particularly interested in the fron fenders...did GM curve it down? keep it straight? pretty much wondering what contors, if any, they followed for the stripes. thx.

Pretty sure that GM doesn't offer any kind of pin-striping as an option. Some dealers may have added stripes, but in those cases, the location is up the person doing the striping.

 

Personally, I've been trying to envision a natural line on the truck where pinstripes would look good. But, with the fender flares, I just don't see any good place.

interesting the way they did your lines.

What I think would look cool is to start at the front of the front fender flare, right behind the head light on the vertical face of th fender flare. Follow right below that body line back over the wheel well then down the body about 6-12", what ever looks good. Then go to the rear fender flare, start at the front of it at the same height the front one ended, going up the vertical face following the curve up and then towards the rear over the wheel well all the way back... Maybe I'll try to draw a picture explaining this...

What I have in mind, plus one member has some really cool stripes on the hood with a bow tie in them. Its a burgundy or red truck...

 

 

 

Pictures are kind of small, I did the last two in red to show up better. I can make them bigger.

I like the pinstripes to accent the body lines rather than dodge them.
