Default Stripes on a Pewter car

I can seem to make up my mind on the color of stripes Im going to place on my car..Ive got it narrowed down to the Gunmetal grey..sort of a "Gost Stripe" or Black..both look great

My vote is for the gunmetal... more subtle, but still a nice contrast.

You're right though, they both look great.

Gunmetal all the way. Nice subtal contrast. Do the Berger panel in gunmetal also and you car would look awsome.

Black. To me, pewter and gunmetal are too close in color that there isnt enough of a contrast between the two colors. I think both options look really good, but I think w/ tinted windows and the black roof pilar (assuming you have that being most do) the black will just flow better.

I have actually considered the "hugger orange" stripes on my Pewter "Z".

Sprewell Racing has one that looks pretty damn nice. IMO.

Want to be different? There's an idea......?
