Pinstripe?

I've been searching the internet and forumns and cannot find an x5 with a pinstripe. Does anyone have any pictures? I have a plat gray and am considering it. Course maybe I cannot find pictures for a reason.

I don't think these should exist so I hope not

Just kidding, I would not go the pinstripe way but far be it from me to judge individual style.

In the whole scheme of 'horrendous things people think are cool', pinstripes are pretty innocuous, IMO.

Lowered, blacked out, fender flares that look like they were stuck on, tires sticking out with spacers for 'wider stance' (WTFs up with that?)...all silly nonsense to some... if you'd like a tasteful pinstripe, why not?

Right on Ard. Pin stripes would look fine... if it were 1985.

Do what you want but I think the general consensus is pinstripes went out in the 80's along with those black front vinyl bras. You do see pintripes on Lexus---maybe it's an attempt by Lexus to trick the buyer into thinking it will go faster.

Ardie, if you like pinstripes you must also like boomerang antennas for your trunk or bullet hole stickers for your windows. Am I right? LSMFH.

I agree in general with pinstripes no longer being popular. However I do believe a subtle hand-painted customized decal or pinstripe can look pretty cool.
