Pen Striping? Yes or No
Should I repaint the Pen Stripes? I think I should.

When I look at your truck all that comes to mine is 2 1/2" drop spindels and 4" drop spring in the rear. As far as the pinstrip I say NO it looks fine as is, besides that pinstrip is overdone,do something different express yourself!

I say go for it, my truck is optioned for them but they have disappeared because of a very crappy repaint. When I eventually fix it up, I'd like to reapply them.

Now that you can see what it would look like...drop the truck and keep the stripes. The color is still sweet!

Yes, I think they will blend in just right with the white top. But i think it's up to you really, ask your dad

Hell no. One look at the monstrosities on my truck that are supposed to be "pin striping" and it will turn you off of pin striping forever.

I think a truck looks much cleaner withOUT the pin stripes. But as always its a personal preference.

No stripes. I had scallops. Leave the stripes off, the paint looks great.
