An easy dress-up for your bonnet and/or boot stripes......

If you have plain stipes with no pinstriping along the edges it's VERY easy to apply the $3.00 pinstiping along the edges of your current stripes. The pinstiping is available in various colors ar AutoZone, O'Reilly's, Advance, etc., and other auto parts stores.

Just place it on the edge of your present bonnet stripes. This is really easy because you have the edge to go by as a marker for keeping them straight....and you can pull the pinstripe up and restick it at any time. No talent is need to put them on perfectly....trust me.

If, in the unlikely event you don't like them, pull them off and throw them away and you're only out $3.00.

Let me know what you think if you give this a try.

I used some autozone pinstriping on my custom bonnet stripes....have held up super well, and i still have enough to do a few more MINI's (for just $3!!)

You can see the black pinstriping in this pic pretty well (the stripes only cost me $5 at autozone as well....and have enough to re-apply them after every winter if i wanted to )
