Default Debating on color for CETA mod

So I can't decide what color to paint the CETA mod on my t/a. I either want to paint it charcoal metallic or the same color as the stripes on my hood. The stripes on my hood are a little lighter than charcoal metallic. Here are some pics of the hood for the color. What color would you guys recommend?

Gloss black or not at all. It wont match your stripes but gloss black cannot be beaten.

A charcoal colored CETA to match your stripes would look good, here's a couple pics that I found........gloss black would be nice as well, even though it doesn't match the stripes

Yeah I would do it to match the stripes also.
For example, on my red t/a I have black stripes, so I have a black ceta. You want some kinda theme, not just thrown in there, ya know?
