IDMACD Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Interesting. In all the years of owning cars, there was always something more needing than pin-striping. I guess your car is complete, lol. If there was anything I'd get, it'd be an upgrade to the Sync 3 radio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjmconsulting Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 I have pin-striping on my 2012 MKZ - I always thought it broke up the "solidness" of the door side panels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drolds1 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I used to get my cars pinstriped in the 70s. IMO, it's passe now. Most modern cars' lines don't lend themselves well to it. I saw it on a new Maxima and it looked ridiculous wit all the curves and swoops on that car. Of course, it's your car and you can do whatever you like with it. FWIW, I used to try to match the interior color. Robert Iggy Cerami 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDMACD Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I did see pin-striping on a MKZ yesterday. It was a gray MKZ with a yellow pinstripe with the star on the end like GM does. I did not like it. It looked silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimflutes Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I had considered this myself,but after looking at the car from different views and angles I concluded the Z has great lines already without the pinstrips. Years ago I had striping on my old Honda coupe but any little damage or repainting along the stripe you had to get it redone again. You can go online and type in 2013 - 16 MKZ with pinstrips and maybe pull up a photo of one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoked Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I think my car came with it (maybe done at the factory, it's painted on). I've never been a fan of it myself. It looks ok on the car though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKZMark Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 I think my car came with it (maybe done at the factory, it's painted on). I've never been a fan of it myself. It looks ok on the car though... I didn't notice the pinstripe on the photo. Is this a black label thing? Looks nice. Is that a Lincoln star just under the A pillar? My Dad had a black '70 Cougar XR7, and the dealer put on a red double pinstripe, which looked pretty good as I recall. I wonder if something would work on my black Z.

drolds1 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Pinstriping isn't shown on any of the cars in the BL website nor is it listed as standard or as an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoked Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Ill take a close up shot tomorrow. I was wrong, it's not painted. Couldn't feel the tape at first but I definitely felt it the second time. Yes, there is a small star there. The stripes are black and silver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
