^ yuck! Please no ceta or ZR1.

I like the current stripes & the blackbird.

If you do go blackbird you could do black, then you could black out some lights n stuff. That looks awsome. Im not sure if the black bird in blue is going to be enough to break up all the white... thats why i think the current stripes look so good.
