^nbm does look good with black so it may look good, a ps would be nice but i cant help you there.

-whetever color you decide on for the stripes, if your going to do the same style, i think the stripes should come a bit further down the front, ending closer to the grill (like King Nothing's is in the sig)

also, i dont think you should run them all the way down the rear. stop them at the trunk, ending with the same style as the front of the car.

NBM would look good, but there are other colors that I think would look better.

How about dark grey metallic?

I'd suggest something like these (how they start on the bumper, and stop on the trunk).

That car is from Missouri isn't it? I remember seeing it almost daily on Highway 70 in St. Charles county.

I say no stripes or at the most a Manta stripe in red or lemans blue like this....




Whatever you do get those stripes off the bumper as that looks terrible.
