SOM would look so gaudy on black. Flat black would probably look pretty good on black though.

I think silver might look good, but som is a color that really demands attention and probably wouldn't flow well. It would be more of a centerpoint to focus on than an accent piece, IMO.

If you look at some of my pic's, you will see Silver on a NBM car. I really like it but have gotten some mixed reactions.

Flat black berger on a black car is just plain stupid. At least with other colors, it kind of looks like you meant it to look like that (to non f-body enthusiasts), but with a flat black on a black car, it will just look lazy.
