Default Show me your stripes!

I am think of adding a few pin strips, just to personalize it a bit.

It is speedway white and I am thinking of either black or red hand painted pin stripes.

I want something very subtle, not flashy, and hardly notable.

Show me yours, and help me get some ideas!

Subtle....hardly noticeable unless you get real close.

These are great inspiration. I do like the white 98 A lot, and the pewter is a close second. Both are subtle, which is what I am after.

Thanks for sharing guys, keep them coming.

I wouldn't call my red GS stripes subtle, but they aren't in your face either...

I like the looks of the grand sport stripes, but since my car is not a Grand Sport, I am guessing they are inappropriate. I know some feel that you should do what you like, but I want it to be honest as well.

Perhaps I am wrong on the grand sport stripes. Can someone shed some light on the Grand Sport and the origins of these stripes?
