They both are swweet. You can't go wrong with what one you choose. Since your car is already black, it will be alot cheaper keeping it black. But the orange will stand out/draw more looks. It all depends on how much $$$$ you want to spend and if you want to draw alot of attention to your car.

both are good looking, but totally different. One's generic, the other is unique. You want to stick out get the orange.

I think the orange car looks damn good, in my humble opinion its not over done, would I do it to mine? no b/c I believe in leaving them stock colors but a little stripe or berger panel is a nice complement. Go with what you really want and of coarse your budget. But keep in mind you do lower the cars resale value when you repaint especially when you change colors. Good luck either way and hopefully your happy with the out come.
