Default blackbird pics?

Does anyone have pics of a black WS6 with red blackbird pics. What is everyones opinion on a good looking color to go with on a black car. Also what does the checkered blackbird stripe look like. Thanks.

This is allegedly a true Blackbird. I kinda like the way it looks, even though I am NOT a fan of the red and black schemes everyone seems to be doing.

I have red blackbird stripes on mine .. gold/pewter was my other consideration but I felt my LOB badges had to much red in them to go with the gold. I had never seen a car with BB stripes at all (in real life) until I did mine.

I like mine so much, when I get it re-painted .. the stripes will be painted on too!

I can email you some pics of mine and more of the one posted earlier (off of ebay) .. let me know!

for some reason i think if your going with black/red combo.. the stripes give it a little too much red... how about using just the outer pin stripes of the blackbird stripes and a reg Ram Air in its normal spot but with two pinstripes? Can someone photochop that? Curious as to how it would look.
