well i dont have forza or PS, but i think it would look really good. i've seen navy blue cars with black stripes and they look really good, not specifically trans ams, but the color combo in general, although it doesn't look so good the other way around. i'd definitely go for it, especially with some dark tint alll the way around, should look really mean.

and you can never go wrong with some charcoal stripes, they go with NBM great as well. not silver- too bright in contrast with the dark NBM

I think silver stripes would look good.
Gunmetal/grey/charcoal would look good as well.
Get me some pics and I can try chopping it together for you.
