    I added some pinstripes this AM using 3M gray / silver tape.

    It went well and the second side was much easier once I learned to work with it. The curved front fenders were the most difficult. I don't know if it will stay on and I will not hit it with a wash wand. It was only $8.00 and some time and I think it dressed it up a bit. Call me an old man now but I need to go yell at some clouds while wearing my knee socks and flip flops.

    I like it. The Tundra has classic lines and the pinstripes fit the style. Do you remember the company that went to the car dealerships and added different striping or vinyl trim to new cars? Think they were called Trimline. One real popular one was what I called instability stripes. They looked like an EKG trace if you were holding a sparkplug on a running engine.

    Now, what color would look nice on the Barcelona Red?

    Now I know what those black plastic circles are in my front bumper ends. Plugs to be removed for curb feelers!;)

    I am thinking about a fiberglass cab visor with lights in it and some outward facing amber running board lights.

    I like those stripes. I am having the same ones put on my 1991 Pickup in the next couple of weeks. They tie the wheel color with the paint without being too flashy. My 18 year old daughter drives the Pickup (4WD manual!) and the stripes identical to the ones you chose were her idea. Nobody knows current fashion better than a teenage girl, so by my reckoning you're on the cutting edge!

    Banned.... :rofl:

    I had one of those visors on my 1995 GMC 1500 (purchased it that way). I ended up removing ASAP it and probably gained 4 mpg.

    I think it looks great. :thumbsup: Pretty disappointed with the lack of a bug deflector though. :(

    If you look close I have the low-pro bug deflector that is formed to the hood.
