I dont think it looks too bad actually. It would look worse if any other colored Fit had chrome rims but black can be pulled off.

 

lowered and no pinstripe would look good.

 

I think the pinstripe doesn't add anything to the car, chrome is nice, i think that stripe is taking away from the clean look I assume your trying to acheive. I bought my 99 civic used and it has the same kind of stripe, I hate it, heh. but w/e it's my beater now.

 

Okay , if I decide to take the pin stripe off, what's the best way to do it? Will it just peel off easily if I manage to grab a corner?

straight up baller

 

Now that I've looked at it a few of times, I agree... lose the pinstripe! It takes away from the overall clean look of the car. The wheels waaaayy out-class that pinstripe... pinstripe is too casual in comparison.

Only another opinion.

 

Unless it has a layer of clear coat over it, get a local (experienced and dependable) detailer to look at it. He'll either do it for fairly cheap or tell you how to get rid of it yourself. I saw a detailer buff a pinstripe off of a car one time. He was using a high-speed buffer and some kind of compound or mildly gritty substance.

Shouldn't be too difficult... again, if it hasn't been clear coated.
