Default NBM, silver blackbird stripes or 30th?

I have bought the 30th anniversary stripes already in silver metallic.
but I'm starting to like the blackbird stripes more and more.
it will be going on a WS6 hood w/ heat extractors.
accents on the rest of the car are silver.
new wheels will be probably chrome or silver.

here's a nbm TA w/ blackbird stripes

I've never seen silver 30th stripes on an NBM. I'll bet that would look sweet. Since you already have them, I say go for it.

Definately put "Ram Air", HP ratings are too cocky IMO

are you talking about 30th anniversary stripes over the hood/roof/spoiler or the side door/quarterpanel stripes?
