Default What color stripe?

On an artic white z with the black t tops and roof. I was thinking that color of grey that is on the audi tt that is dark and sort of flat looking. Of all the bright colors i have mulled over i cant think of one very attractive.

Dark blue would be nice, or grey like you said, How about gun metal grey? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

I painted the roof matching Arctic White and then layed down some Lemans Blue rally stripes. I think it looks sharp, but I am biased.

How about a forest green? You'd probably want something different, right?

Send me a picture of your car and I'll put any color stripe on there you want. Should make it easier to decide what you want.

Hey this is zshark on rnr's sign on (too lazy to change), i have thought of black but it just doesnt appeal, i am leaning toward the the stock navy color, without the metallic of course. I am going to get the ultra z hood soon, and i think it would be badass to start the stripe after the intake. The reason why i am even considering is because i saw this orange z with a white stripe (that changed color to a subtle blue) on the side of the road, i pulled over to see if he was a ls1techer and he wasnt, i tried to get him interested but he just wasnt, well anyway he works in a paint shop and does good work and he said that he would paint a stripe for 350, is that a good price? jsears8, i will get a pic soon for you and thanks for offering.
