What color accents for the SS hood would go good with a real dark silver?

I think im leaning toward the SS, unless I get a good deal on a cowl. I am repainting the entire car, so my options with paint and accents are pretty much up in the air. I think I want a real dark rich mettalic silver with maybe suttle black accents, with some chrome. Any opinions on that color scheme?

Another vote for the SS hood, but I'm partial.

SS hoods look great but they aren't defined enough. If you want to show off go with a cowl.

EVERYONE has an SS hood, they are WAY overdone!! Do the cowl and your Camaro won't get mixed in with all the other SS's and Z28's with SS hoods in the parking lot.

I like em both. Everyone has SS hoods cause they are so badass. However, the cowl is much more unique and also looks great. Im sure this post probably didnt help much...sorry.
