Default blackbird stripe opinon

OK...Heres the deal

I have an arctic white 2000 T/A. Red overlays and black wheels. I am going to do a black CETA soon. What color blackbird stripes should I do? Red or black?

I am thinking red.

Let me know what ya think!!!! and if you have pics post em up!

Thanks...

Edit: Also where is the best place to get them? I was going to grab them from fourth circle designs....

Fourth circle designs, and I'd go with Red to match your accents, however, you could order new accents (black) to match your rims, and your CETA mod, and in that case, get black.

if your rims are black and your doin the CETA in black than id ditch the red accents and do the blackbird stripe in black...it will look sick. i have a red car with black CETA, black rims, and black stripes and it looks killer!!
if ya leave the red accents on it something will be off...i dont think it will look right. but it is just my opinion...post pics when your done...goodluck.

Go with black stripes, then buy some new black overlays. That way the "theme" of you car is white/black, and not white/half black/half red. It will look much better IMO.

the problem is I really like the red overlays. But I also like the black rims and CETA. I dont really want to ditch the red overlays. I think I am going to get the red backbirds and see how it all ties together. I will post pics.


Thanks everyone and keep the pics/opinions coming

I suppose you can get the red rims like in this chop in this thread here and just keep a strict white/red theme

I would vote to go black/white. But if you do go with red blackbird stripes make sure to paint your calipers red to help your red/white/black theme. Don't feel alone, I had to try out 2 different blackbird colors before I got it right. Get some pics up when its all done!

I would go with the black theme rather than red for your car.

HOWEVER, if you want to keep the red accents...then get BLACK BB STRIPES with RED RAM AIR DECALS.
