Do you think the car need a pin stripe since I removed the side molding. You need to imagine the car lowered a little with some black panasport looking 15" wheels.




Later and thanks
Randy

Pinstripes CAN be nice. Thinking for yourself I believe, is even better. Chances are you know what's tasteful. Go with what you want to do.

I like it just how it is. Door handles would be a nice touch though.

My black '79 has a white pinstripe...

all RX-7's came with a pinstripe just above the mirror line, didn't they?

well, at least any of the ones I've ever seen had the same pinstripe my car has... maybe it was a factory option?

I personally think it looks iffy. And if I painted my car, it'd disappear...

Cool, I was leaning towards leaving it off. Just looks a little plain now. I need to get the mirrors and door handles and stuff back on. That will probbaly help.

Black mirrors and door handles would be enough.

I like how my burgundy pinstripes bring a bit of the interior colour to the exterior, as my bodycoloured console brings exterior paint to thr interior. Ties it all together.

Had my car not come with them stock, I'd not have added them, but I like the more or less factory look. Of course, it's a matter of personal taste.
