Regardless, I would do painted pinstripes. not like Pep-Boy Mike up there in
yah hey der land.

Honestly, my '89 200 turbo had white painted pinstripes  and it looked good.
they were found at the elevation just above the door handles.

 is this body style 91-92 the same as the older style apart from the wheel
wells and the hood.  if pinstripes would detract from it - i would'nt do it.
i could not imagine pinstripes on my 00 avant.  yuck!!!

if no pinstripes -   just let me do the flames on the sides ;).
