Default which color stripes

Im debating on what color stipes i should put on my chevelle. it had white pearl stripes at first which looked good as far as color scheme but was executed poorly by the previous owner so i sanded them down and repainted it. now i feel like the muscle is missing from this car. so what color TRADITIONAL style SS stripe should i go with.

I voted silver. If the car had white interior, then definitely white. Those are the only two color option IMO on a blue Chevelle. Nice car too. The 70 Chevelles are my favorite muscle car of all time!

I was going to say silver or white until that comment. So white. I don't like pearl stripes.

But what are he plans for the rest of the car? Maybe that comes into the selection process.

as far as plans.. its my daily driver. i might throw an overdrive in it and do the 2010 power tour long haul. but no really plans to start modding it anytime soon.. may put some stiffer springs and nice shocks on it but not too much more..

Personally...I like the clean look of no stripes. But if I had to choose a color, silver.

Go Cowboys...

Thumbs up

I voted silver stripes. I think that's the best choice.
Will they be metallic silver or just straight silver?

I think silver with no metallics would just be grey

My third choice was Silver, my first two were None. The current color doesn't speak stripes to me.
