There Is A Recurring Thought.................
I have had lately............
My 05/-55 is TOTALLY BLACK........
Would it be considered a travesty to "tastefully" pen-stripe the car????
With the Charcoal/Gray interior, I was thinking about a thin, silver/gray, hand-done accent......Hood, doors, quarters, and across the trunk, just below the top edge........i.e., nose-to-tail.
Comments?? (Anyone seen a striped SL55?)

I haven't seen a striped SL55, nor do I ever hope to see one, ever.

Did the hood.................
Just as an experiment..........
So Far.............
Votes Yes: 12

"Young" voters like it, "Mature" voters do not...............
BTW: "Young" is under 35........."Mature is,....... well, just older."....
I have mixed feelings,
BUT, it appears I must stripe the whole car to get the full picture.....
(It can be removed, it is only tape..........not to panic.)

I am going to guess about 90% will be NO STRIPES ON A SL55.
Go pinstripe a White Mustang for god`s sake.
Note: I am in the older group.

26 here, pinstriping anything other than a Ford GT is a no-go. Especially a benzo. You might want to talk to my boys here.
