Gave the stripes a try

To be honest, I'm not sure what I like better. Both ways look great though.

Have you thought of doing it satin, simlar to 6LiterEaters?

Ehh... Not feeling it on your car. Maybe black with a chrome trime or if you at least had Whistlers still it would have gone better...

I personally still think you should Charcoal Grey spokes of the Z06 rims (leaving the lips chrome), do the Whistler mod in charcoal grey and then get charcoal grey stripes with a chrome outline
