I don't think silver stripes would go w/ the wheels...

black would look nice, but would be really subtle

Yeah, go with some black stripes. It's a nice, sublte touch to your car that only a car enthusiast will catch.

Have you seen a NBM car with black stripes? It's hard to see, most people wouldn't even notice it.

Really, any type of stripes will make it look better. People tell me my car looked good when I put my stripes on. Plus, I get a lot more compliments from other Camaro owners. But yeah, I'd do black. Enthusiasts will notice it more.

Default I built a model

I built this model that I got to match as close to what I have
I did buy the 35th Anniversary stripes
I have the same car as you. Right down to the Magnaflow Slash Cut Tips. The paint is a little bit brighter on the model car.

The nice thing is the flags fade to black so you get the best of both worlds.

I'm going to post some pics after I do mine.
The Wheels are already on

Well there are some little spots on the hood that would be covered up if I go stripes. Did I mention the stripes will not be painted on.
