Default Color combo idea for a SS

I recently bought a 01 SS shell to fill in for my TA I totaled, but it has a terrible paint scheme on it. I am considering keeping the car white and do a dark blue met dual racing stripe running up the car and finishing on the rear bumper. I cant find any pictures of this scheme so it makes me excited but also a little weary of why not many have tried it. Just trying to go a little old school what do yall think?

i think i'll look good. cant go wrong with NBM stripes on a white car. just because it hasn't been done, doesn't mean theres any thing wrong with it. i'll be painting my next car, and i'm sure nobodys ever seen an f-body done in a color like it, and its not even some crazy/out there color, just different than what you see on these cars.

90% of the f-body's you see around still either have stock paint jobs or have been repainted a stock color. and with stripes, most people stick to the basics, black, silver/charcoal, white, and red. and thats pretty much all you'll see on the different colored cars.

switch it up, stay different, and set yourself apart from the crowd!!!

I say screw the NBM stripes and go with Hugger Orange, and depending on how far your going with it, white leather seats with orange inserts. Talk about sick. I WISH my car was white instead of NBM.

Wow that would be insane. I am planning on being different and I see a lot of LT1 camaros running around with the orange stripes. I really wish I could do my original idea but with the white it isnt possible. the plan was to do a ghost stripes with blue, but you can not do it on a white without the blue going from dark to baby blue.

no orange seats inserts , but plain white looks good too! This is what I 'll be doing with atomic orange.
