Default jdm side moldings

Thinking of putting a pinstripe on my side moldings like the EF SiR's. Cant decide what color, Silver or Red. And need suggestions where to get the right type of sticker type striping too. Appreciate any input...
Here's a pic of it now...

pin striping is as cool as wearing a tu tu through the ghetto in my opinion.

Well not on the car but on the side moldings where it should, like the SiR's...so are you saying the SiR's look ghetto?

I have to agree, the pinstripes on the SiR never really looked good to me.

besides, for the correct way of achieving the sir molding look, you would have to color match your modlings to the color of your car first and then stripe it another color. if by in that case, i wouldnt even stripe it.

i think you should be over it, it looks good that way it is, but its your car not mine, if you do decide to do it i would rather see it red then silver.

From another post. Do it silver! I think that would add a nice touch.

Yeah...now I'm as confused as when I started, lol...Thanks for all the input. I will probably leave it the way it is, makes it a bit different than the SiR. Its a DX for cryin out loud, lol. Maybe I'll spend the money on something else. Mid-spoiler looks good

don't make them body color...that's really tacky with a pinstripe down them...

Leave them black, but make the indention in the molding red...that'll contrast nicely with the car, and also match your wheels

Go for it dude. if it's ugly (I think it'll look nice), you could always paint it black again.

yes it does. It adds a handle to open the hatch with that is slightly higher so you don't have to bend over as far.

I like the pinstripe, you just have to get the moldings the same color as your car, and go with the silver pinstripe.
