I feel the problem with doing pinstripes and making it look like a proper lowrider, is that if you haven't noticed, Mattel seems to be cutting the budget on mainline more and more. Tampos get cheaper looking, they rely on being eye sores to get attention. To do a lowrider scheme, they'd most likely spend more than they'd like.
And if you ask, "Well why not put it into the Silver Series or Premiums?" Remember dear anon, le boomers will bitch if their Gulf boomermobiles aren't taking all the limelight. And if it isn't the remaining fatass boomers it'll be their kids screeching that it isn't an R34 Skyline for the seven-millionth time.
I miss when they had gorgeous metalflake paint with simple yet well done liveries, recreations of IRL racing schemes, and things that look both loud and believable. They grow fewer and fewer by the year and it's depressing.
