It would look good, but I love plain white...IMO I would add some black to the rims.

Here is the only picture I could find with the two collors together, I think it would look great as a manta scheme and be a little different.

After some thought I'm not feeling the black manta. I think it's the contrast between the white and black. I dont really want to leave it all white though. Any thoughts or ideas. It would be nice to see some differnt color combinations on the car.
