Default Charcoal Blackbird stripe pics

Ive searched and there have been some threads on this topic, but I have yet to see any Charcoal Metallic balckbird stripe pics on a black T/A. I have a Silver theme going on and am thinking of switching to charcoal but need to see how visible they are on black. Thanks for any pics!

check my thread: https://ls1tech.com/forums/appearance-detailing/545680-my-ta-won-1st-place-car-show-here-s-pics.html . . . charcoal is too dark for a black ta, so i asked fourthcircledesigns if they had light charcoal, . . i dunno, if you like it but i think its nice, keep in mind that the sun was shinning real bright on that particular day so it appears brighter than normal, (when i had my silver metallic stripes it looked white on those days), on a normal day its noticeable but doesn't stick out like a sore thumb and at night you probably can't notice it if i pass by

I had charcoal blackbird strips on my TA. I've had a couple of different ones. There is Dark Charcoal Metallic and then there is Charcoal metallic. I've had both and I think the carcoal ones looked close to silver but just a hint darker. I have some pics of both on my cardomain site

Here are my silver ones...




I wanted something that would stand out from the black. I also have a black and silver theme going. Next up are silver faced gauges.

I still can't decide wether or not to do the stripes on my LT1. I kind of like them on your formula. I just wonder if it will look as good, better, or worse with the Trans Am front bumper.

More pics?

I was going through some old pictures and I found this. The center stripes are charcoal metallic color and the outer stripes are the dark charcoal metallic. Doesn't look like too much difference but in person you could tell that the centers were lighter
