Dumb question
The other day an .org member asked me if I am going to take off the pin stripe. Is this something that everyone does; I never thought about it, but it seems I'm the only one here that hasn't done it.
What's the deal?

Dude I was soooooo jipped, I'm driving down to that dealer to give him a piece of my mind.

Anyway...If you like them...keep em on. Who cares what others think.

(How could it be expensive? You can buy a pinstrip at Pep Boys for $5 and just put it on yourself if need be).
I got a two tone grey and silver on my Sterling mist, it blends in nicely....

Re: Dumb question
My Maxima didn't come with pinstripes, but when I got my Sentra SE-R, it already had pinstripes on it. It's a dealer installed item. That's how they gouge you in order to make more off a car.
I saw the list of dealer-installed options and went "$300 to $400 for pinstripes?!? Gotta be kidding." I mean, come on, it's really just two long thin sticker strips! But once it's on, you can't have the dealer take it off and knock the price off. I hate it when dealers do stuff like that to their cars as soon as it comes off the truck. Damn dealers.

Re: Dumb question
I told my dealer that if the car had them on - I wanted them off, and would refuse to pay for them.
The dealer add on sticker is $999.95 for pinstriping, mudflaps and something else - I laughed in their faces for that! Hell - for $5 go to Walmart and pick up pinstriping and do it yourself if you want it. I don't like the way it detracts from the cars look (personally).

2000 SE here and i have two light goldish colored pinstripes on my superblack maxima. i thought about taking them off... but didn't. now it's two years later and i really want to take them off... but im concerned that it's messed up the paint! oh well, i guess i'll just leave them on until i get a new paintjob someday.
