Default What should I do with my 01 T/A WS6 - Stripes? - 2-Tone paint - Need help deciding!

As the title says, I want to do something with my 01 T/A WS6. Not sure if I should go with stripes or 2-tone paint, or something else. People are telling me to go with white stripes, others tell me black, I also thought maybe grey or silver. Please help me decide! This is not a thread of someone wishing to get something done, this actually is going to be done. Please post opinions and idea, also pics of others cars with different ideas. Photoshops are more then welcome aswell! Thanks!

Here are pics of my car:

That's a sic color, you should just do a CETA and black out the tail lights, and use your money on rims and suspension. It would look much better a little lower on rims than with a paint job. If you really want to paint it I would keep the same color w/ a pearl coat

Your car looks great, maybe some black ram air stripes along hood, CETA mod, new wheels, and maybe some new exhaust tips?

your interior is black and orange so I would say go for that theme, so if you do stripes I would go black

I think it looks good as it is, but if ANYTHING, maybe some stripes. MUCH better than two tone.

I am now thinking, what about 2 white stripes up each hood vent that end with a checkered flag. Go onto the back of the roof, and onto/under the spoiler with the checkered flag pattern. I have seen it done and think it looks great. Here are some pics:











Props to whoevers beautiful car that is!

Are you tryin to keep the Red/Black theme to the entire car?
If so, Black Ceta, Wheels, and Black Bird Stripes.

Not a fan of the black top'd T/A or Camaros.

I really like a clean orange paint job w/o stripes. I say you get some nice iforged/ nice set of polished wheels, CETA mod, and some tinted windows. I think you would be suprised how much a nice set of wheels would make that paint pop. Oh and def lowered

I have tinted windows already, I am going to do the CETA aswell. I looked at those stripes in black aswell, but white seems nicer looking.

I think the Blackbird stripes would look killer on your hood in black. Along with a black
CETA bumper. Subtle, yet effective.

Here is a link from this website with some examples.
