Question My WS6, to stripe or not to stripe??

I've been thinking of doing this since before I even got the car, what do you guys think. One of the reputable companies makes the stripes in a dark charcoal grey, which would look something like this...

Think I should do it??

I voted yes, but a diff. color. Maybe something more brighter, like a metallic silver. Just search around here on the site- there are tons of cars with stripes on them so you get a better idea of what color. But I say do it- its your car and you've always wanted to do it.

Thenks guys, keep the votes coming!

I wanted a ghost look. I'm not a fan of bright clashing colors, I like subtle contrast. If they had a semi-gloss or matte black I'd get that but dark charcoal is the darkest they make that you'll still see. Gloss black would blend to the point that you'd never see it.

Blackbird stripes are so redundant and getting extremely boring.

It's supposed to be dark and hard too see, I'm assuming he's going for a ghost stripe effect. Bright *** colors probably wouldn't go along with his theme that he is going for.

I say go for it, it would look sick.

It looks kinda brown, I vote for darker gray or even stain black.
