  1. As a pinstriper wannabe, just a LITTLE something under the license light, very little under the tail lights. Maybe some kind of nerf bars in back. But free advice and all its legal liability is limited to what you paid for it.
     
  2. Wild ghost flames and a ton of striping with a cartoon airbrushed on the trunk!!! NO wait that's what I did, maybe just a little stiping and a simple back bumper. I can just imagine if someone backed into that big open unprotected rear, thousands of dollars in repair! I really like the color for some reason!

    I like striping done very low key. I also think all cars don't need or call out for it,especially a body line if there is chrome trim.
    The license plate light is calling out for modest accent stripe to "finish" your very nice car.

    Something small around the plate, simply because the plate looks 'placed' there.

    I think your color would lend itself well to some stripes, but like others have said--you don't want clutter. You have the chrome strip running down the side, so don't want anything else there, maybe a little something around the windows and/or wheel wells?? Maybe light yellow if that is the license plate you will be using??

    Hmm, nice car, nice color.You could go either way with the pinstripes, Looks like a rumble seat car, a rear bumper might be a better way to go .
