Default Help with deciding paint?

Wanting to do someting paint wise to make my car little different than every other black SS out there. Either some kind of ghost racing stripes on my car just dont know what color. I was also watching horsepower tv this weekend and saw the black mustang with the hood scoop and the area with the hood scoop was painted flat black it looked pretty good. I thought it would look cool to do the same on the scoop of the hood of the SS (maybe someone can photochop it). Open to any suggestions, just dont want something way out there, trying to keep it tasteful.

I like the idea of different shades of black. I love my black fender hashes, they're subtle but noticeable. I get tons of complients about them. You're right, though, that 'stang on HPTV did look pretty good.
