Default Help with blackbird stripe color choice please!

Hi guy's, my car is all Artic White with T-Tops besides the calipers being painted red. Due to the recent damage to my car by my girlfriend backing into it I will be getting a WS9 hood(reg not outlaw) when i get my car fixed. My question is this...I will be choosing blackbird stripes to help "set-off" my new hood and i was wondering what stripe choice you guys would go with? I contacted fourth circle designs http://fourthcircledesigns.com/produ...products_id=68 and they suggested either a black or silver metallic in pinstripe for a white car.Silver metallic sounds kinda cool but I'm not sure what it's exact shade is when laid on a white hood. I will be also getting my rear bumper painted CETA style black gloss so black kinda seems the natural choice but silver sounds nice.Any ideas? also maybe some suggestions if i should paint my fender vents as well? If so what color? I do have my own ideas but i like to hear from people who have "been there and done that". Thanks in advance for all input guy's....Craig

I'd say black, especially if you are already going to do the CETA rear mod in gloss black.

I might say a dark charcoal metallic, but not silver. Silver would look good and subtle, but IMO wouldn't contrast enough.

Thanks for the input guys, hey DDuncan i love your choice of wording on your ram-air vents, GO BAMA! LOL I live in columbia MO. so my team is the Missouri Tigers! We kicked *** in a spectacular comback against South Carolina in the independence bowl! We were 21 points down but our QB went CRAZY on their ***!! Brad Smith is a talent you will be seeing him in the NFL soon (what position i dont know as they will certainly change him to something else).Sorry to get off subject but i love how you were able to get your teams slogan to sound so good on a ram-air hood, to me it sounds great on there when i say it outloud! And with a team color car you didnt go wrong!!

Thanks man!

Oh, and I saw that whole game and I couldn't miss Brad Smith... love to see the ol' ball coach get beat anytime lol (even though USC fans are pretty cool as far as SEC teams go)

So, no black and gold car with a Mizzou logo yet?

I would do the silver, if you e-mail sean @ fourthcircle and ask him for a color sample I'm sure he will mail you one if you arent sure about the colors. They are real great about customer service over there and I'm sure they would be more than willing to help you out
