Default Blackbird Stripes, Which should I get!

Alright, so here's my car
I currently have regular black ones on the car right now, but they look like crap now, all faded and lost their clear-look.

Should I get, black, flat black (dont think so), or metallic black?
I think the "pinstripe" is the kind I have now, with the stripe on each side.. Also where do you guys get yours from? Think it would look cool to put "430RWHP" or something where Ram air is, or just do ram air?

Just some thought, thanks everyone, have a g'night

You could put "346 CI". Assuming you have a stock LS1.

I agree with BlueBird. Also, your car is ready for some black ZR1's. It is set up perfectly for them!! Especially if you have the black !CETA.

Go with Glossy black. Keep it saying "ram air" that way if you change something like your cubic inches or hp you won't have to change them!

Thanks for the compliments. The badge I have on the side is "Last of the Breed" badge.. I bought the car with it. From what i recall, they're very hard to find now, but I could be wrong.

Yes my ceta is gloss black so i'll probably just go with gloss black again..
When I bought the car the blackbird stripes were kinda dull looking, and the "ram air" was in red, and it was actually IN the stripe, not on top of it.. So I bought silver ram air decals and just covered the old ones. I like the silver better.

What do metallic black stripes look like?!
