Either blue or black would be my choice on the white car. I was thinking silver, but i think the others would be better. Than you can get the matching SS inlays to complete the look.

Mel, there's a new Monte SS for sale up the street from me that has the silver stripes on it. It's white just like yours, it looks pretty sweet.

kissmyss looks awesome with the stripes matching the side skirts. is that just painted or is it just the paint. not real sure on the in and outs of the ss but the matching looks bad ***, and for huger orange always been a huge fan used to use it as an accent on the trucks

Ive looked at a lot of old school white SS Cars mostly had Hugger Orange Stripes.
Could I get overlays in that color for the SS letters?

Not sure about the color myself, but I haven't really followed older SS's, so I don't know how they looked in the past. I'm sure if someone can do the vinyl work for you, they can get you a couple pieces for the SS's, too.

Pitch Black SS at www.naioa.com runs a sign shop and does all the vinyls for the NAIOA store. Sign up there and send him a PM...maybe he can do something for you if you don't have a local shop to do it.
