I have deliberated about this same thing myself for much time. I decided on no stripes. I think simple black with as few things to take away from it as possible looks the best. This is only my opinion, of course, so if you're set on stripes, then get stripes. I would say dark grey or flat black, but you might think that would be stupid. Whatever you decide, post up pics and you might change my mind.

white looks great on a black car, and gold also looks incredible, like the Mustang Shelby gt-h and bandits. I personaly like the silver checkered flag look.

here is some help:

gold looks good to me when layed on black paint. that Checkered pattern in gold would look kick ***.
What about a Dark blue or maybe electric blue color?

I got really sick of the Blackbird Stripes. I took them off and it looks cleaner and meaner. I am starting to dig those Ram Air Stripes though.
