Question What color stripes?

So i have a 2001 black WS6 and i have always been a fan of the 30th anniversary stripes. With having a black car im not sure that color to get. I know i dont want white. Im trying make my car stand out a little more. I was thinking red or yellow. maybe even going with a custom color like viper green or nassau blue. What do you think?

Not really a fan of any stripe colors other than black or white. I like to keep it simple.

How about gold? I really like the black-and-gold color scheme on the 10th Anniversary Firehawks that SLP produced.

Did you mold the bumper and license plate cover, or did the previous owner do that?

I do to, silver looks great on black. You cant really go wrong with that combo. I didnt use it because it looks like a decal and everyone else has it.



I think Inferno orange stripes on the black would be sick!
