Default Outlander pinstripes

Does anyone have pinstripes on the sides of a 2012 or newer Outlander?
I would love to see photos to get a feel for the best location to apply mine.
One inch below the window is popular, but I am leaning towards just below the body crease about 4 more inches down.

O thank you, this helps me a lot. My original thought was to go just below the body crease.
But I think after seeing this and how it is level with the top of the headlight and even with the hood line it's the right way to go.
Thank again for the photo.

Very nice, and yes 2012- to present have the same body lines on the sides.
Ended up putting them on over the weekend, I went lower on the crease, and noticed that it makes them harder to see, but it is was it is.
I have the same SE as your '16 -

The wifes 14 actually has a small black stripe on the seem of the body line. It's subtle, and not very noticeable unless your close enough to see it.

Are you planning any power mods for your Big O.?
the 4cyl. model with some mods was WAY better performance wise than the V6 model. (and I didn't care for the uber fake wood trim in the GT) Love the SAWC in the big O as well. now that fall is here, it's time to drop the summer wheels N tires and put the stockers back on. They work pretty good for Midwest weather.

Back on point..... You could always add another bolder set in the same or different color to set it off more if you wanted to.

Krakker, you are right, I didn't notice the black stripe before - I zoomed in on the photo and can see it. I also, never thought about performance mod's with this being my wife's O - however, with the underwhelming pickup with the 4 cylinder I will look into it as a safety issue for merging with highway traffic.
I love your summer wheels, do you have a full side view photo so I can see them better? I'm sure they were expensive, but wheels make the vehicle...
I wish NY allowed tinted windows for the drivers and passengers side windows, the law will not let tinted windows pass inspection.
Going to check out your posts on your power mod's - thanks for your info & help.

Best shot here with them on the Big O. They used to be on my Sonata, but I kept them when I got this ride and put on some Dunlops for summer. They are ASA light weight wheels that I custom painted to match my car. They were a perfect fit the Blue Outlander as well. There's a Pikes Peak Outlander from 2014 that has some custom strips that cover the body seam down below the handles. Not a bad look, but not something you get without a custom order probably.

FYI, Pulley and timing controller are VERY easy mods and VERY worth the investment for long term. and yes,,,, they are great as a safety purchase for merging into traffic or crossing several lanes.

That's a pretty Bad A** looking Big O. The colors blend together so well.

If you changed the front end a bit it would kinda look like a Dorango R/T
