Ok so heres the story. After getting my car from the dealer, it came with this ugly yellow pinstripe on the side. They said it was vinyl, behlold its paint. So i asked a body shop guy about it and he said for 500$ he can take it off, polish the car and get rid of waves and swirl marks and make it look brand new.

Now, for me 500$ is alot of money and i REALLY hate the pinstripe. So, would you do it?

 

i would get another estimate but would dish out the bux to get it done. what color is your car, anyway? regardless, a yellow pinstripe, ANY pinstripe on the Gs would look nasty imo

 

Werd.

 

Its a yellow pinstripe on a Black G.

 

^+1

 

can we see pics of this crazy stripe from hell?

 

+1 pics!

 

500 for pinstripe removal and a SICK detail is worth it. We have a place called Detail doctor by my house they charged 400 for my moms LS430 when we got it from ebay. It came detailed but the guy was a smoker, they did the whole car start to finish, it looked like it just rolled off the show room floor.

 

Who the hell pin-striped it in the first place?

1. Yes, you should have it removed and polished out.

2. In the world of owning an Infiniti, $500 isn't a lot of money.

 

Yea so the detail guy said that there are tons of "waves" from bad compounding/buff jobs, which looks terrible in the sun. I may just do the whole thing just to make my G totally reconditioned.

Also, I just put in my clear corners... this stripe has to go lol.

 

i always hated pinstripes on G's..makes it look cheap..i say get other estimates from other places and go on from there

 

I agree, it also makes it look like its from the 1970's.

 

ugh that pinstripe is like a bad pimple it wont go away brother i have seen it fork out the $500 and live in peace. lol what can we do

 

Dark colors like OB and TB are difficult to maintain anyway, let the detail
guy give you a head start....get rid of the pinstripe. Some dealerships think
it cool to add that kinda B.S. to there cars....Zero Taste!
