looking to do the blackbird stripes. Not sure which ones to get...solid, checkered, solid w/pinstripe, and also what color. I've got a semi gloss ceta mod and stock rims. I'll stay with chrome rims..eventually TT2's and my car is NBM...not sure if the flat silver or metallic silver or white or what will look better for my car. help me out guys! post some pics if you can!

metallic silver with pin stripe IMO.

If you want more sudtle, then satin or flat black would look sweet and go with your CETA.

Not white, tho

Default stripes

I have white on the bird on the tag cover but where it says trans am on the door theres nothing...if I went with say flat black or anything other than white, is there somewhere I can get the same color to redo the bird and the trans am on the doors? I kinda want it all to go together...kinda why I was thinking white and the "ram air" was white and it wasnt bad i guess.
keep the thoughts coming guys!

The wheels are polished, and I got them from Tomz Wheels. The fronts are 17X9.5 and the rears are 17X11. The rear tires are 315, and its stock springs.
