I like green the way it is, leave it alone, but it is YOUR Jeep, do what you want.

I had a tan (buckskin) 79 Dodge pickup that I put thin black tape pinstripes on as if they were inverted (top of fender downward) flames (just body color inside the flame outlines) that transitioned into two thin stripes running back to the rear of the bed.

My son traded me out of the truck and got a lot of compliments for the stripe job. It did set off the truck's lines and gave a personalized "hotrod" look to it.

If you think it looks good, why worry about what others think?

I'd pull off the side moldings and do a pinstripe there.

Stripe it if you like it. I had the factory pin stripe on mine but opted to sand it off, personally I like the clean uncluttered look on mine, but since you have the side moldings I'd say go for the pin stripes. Are you going with the red? How about a gray or black?
