I was finishing pinstriping a tail, and my dad walked in a threw a fit =/ He went on about how it is so illegal and i am going to get a ticket, and he will not inspect my car again and on and on. unfortunately, i had no choice but to rip it off, and felt bad as i had wasted my time and striping. so, i got creative in a "legal" way this time. yay or nay? what's your opinion?

You did a good job keeping everything straight and symmetrical, but the white sticks out too much and the pattern looks outta place. Try something else.

I'd have to say nay. But props for the creativness. Tell Pops that it's not illegal. I've had mine done for quite a while now and never had any problems with cops, even when I was driving in NC.

I have done told him it wasnt illegal, but he knows everything, you know. (according to himself) and i am not willing to give up free inspections and paid car insurance. (at least 'til i am out of college)
One benefit: I am the master pinstriper now =) I could draw intricate pictures with it, i swear. The pictures actually make it look a bit uneven b/c theyre downsized

you did a great job with them...but it might look way better in a color more similar to your car. i think it looks kind of weird only because it stands out so much.

My honest opinion is that it doesnt look very good on your color of car, but if it was a black car I think it might look pretty good honestly.

I dunno, I'll go against the grain here on this one: I like the pattern, but I'd go with another color maybe? I really dig the creativity, and I'm glad you had the ambition to go after it even after hearing crap from your dad....
