I think that the Silver would look good. Good contrast, but tastefully done.

I'd like to get mine painted (graphite grey), but I think it's pretty expensive (anyone with painted stripes care to say how much they cost?).

I have personally seen the TG and SS stripe combo and it looks awesome. Very classy.

Stripes

Get them painted on don't do the decals. Water will eventually find away under the decals and ruin the paint. Decals fade and crack over time and eventually need replacing. The painted on stripes cost more but are well worth it.

$750 but the painter is a friend. They were sanded, painted, completely cleared over. You can not feel them at all. My painter said the hardest part was measuring to be sure they lined up perfectly, and they do.

this car is the whole reason my wife has her 06 GT now. she saw this car at Mustang Week and fell in love. believe it or not, it was all she could talk about the whole time we were down there. nicely done! and your price on the stripes is pretty good. around here they are running about $800 painted and cleared, but like you said, they are perfect and you can't feel them.
