ttops bar is black..
mirrors are black
front grill and interior is black....

I'd go orange for both the spoiler and hood with the scoop in black and having it on the back spoiler as a stripe. Add in something like a HP or 346 c.i. decal or an emblem on the sides of the scoop and you'd be set. Or maybe even 30th anniversary style stripes in black. For the black paint if not a gloss black I'd go with satin black. If the car was all black an orange scoop would be a great scheme IMO. But black parts on an orange car would look like they were taken off a black car and put on yours without being painted. That's all just my 2 cents, just do it however you'd like it best and all that matters is that you like the way it looks.
