I didn't think about black, that would look sweet too. Or as also stated a slightly darker green (like ghost stripes) would be sweet also. You got your work cut out for you....those are tuff choices.

What color interior? what finish are you going with on the wheels?

Without knowing those things, I second the vote for black.

This is my delema, I was going to accent the interior and wheels off the silver stripes.

W/ Platinum Stripes I would go with a black interior with the silver accents and the wheels would have a polished lip with the center painted silver

W/Pearl white stripes I would go with a peanut butter color interior and the wheels would have to be a polished aluminum

W/ Black Stripes Obviously I would go with black interior and the wheels would obviously be black or partially black

My wife had said use black but I thought maybe the black would be to dark. God why can't this be easy....lol I thought I had it all figured out.

Darker silver/metallic grey stripes, match the wheel centers to it, black interior with some of the strip color accents, polished lip on the wheels.??

This was my original plan for the car exactly what you just said, and I have thought about this for the last couple days and I'm going to stay with the silver for the strips I will post pics shortly. thanks for everyone that posted a reply with your opinion.

That color looks so good, I would actually hesitate to put stripes on there, especially the same old twin SS stripes with the 1/8" outline. Not cool enough for that car IMO. As far as color and stripe selection, you're making a strong case for hiring a designer to sort out the color and maybe throw you some ideas outside the box but my vote is a silver if you can't live without stripes. If you want to see it on paper, let me know.

I'm wondering how it would look with black stripes with silver edges? I also agree that it might be a good time to consult someone with knowledge of color combinations.

What about a green ghost stripe...something just a hair off what you have. Subtle but there. That would allow you to go with whatever interior and wheel choices you want but still give you the racing stripe feel.
