Chrome Over Pinstripe?
I'm not really crazy about the light gray pinstripe on my Daytona Blue HHR. However, I'm afraid it will be noticable if I peal it off since there is a seal coat over it. (It was a decal added by the dealer before I purchased it) I'm wondering how a thin chrome strip would look over it instead. What do y'all think of the idea?

Unless they're painted on, you shouldn't have a problem removing the grey pinstripe. If you have to, go to a detailing shop and ask them to break out the "eraser": a rubber wheel that'll make short work of that pesky stripe, or sticker, without damaging the paint underneath.
The idea for chrome still stands, though. Just try not to ever put an applique over an applique.

Low Tone
I'll take an up close picture in the sunshine tomorrow morning for you so you can see it better on my Casper. I applied the 1/8" chrome pin striping. I also have a strip across my windshield of the 'shade shifter' pin strip also. That stuff looks cool. I'll do a pic of that also for you!
