I know this isn't tech but Racing stripes? Black or ReD? or not at all?

Chrome 17X9 2003 SVT Cobra Rims and New (as of last january) Metallic Gray paint job. Tinted windows....Calipers are RED NOW. So are the DRUMS.

None, your paint is too dark for red and I don't think black would look very good. If anything some light silver or white stripes maybe...

I agree with TrBoh22, no stripes, and if you absolutely feel you need them, go with silver

red cars- white or black stripes
blue cars- white stripes
white cars- blue stripes
green cars- white stripes
grey cars- no stripes
black cars- no stripes
orange cars- no stripes
yellow cars- no stripes
That's my opinion. I think your car looks very clean, and with that color racing stripes will look out of place and gaudy. Try getting some black bumper and side skirt inserts, that'll give a little color to the exterior. And remember, racing stripes draw attention from both ricers and cops.

in fact, the only color that would look good would be another shade of grey, a darker one, that barely stood out, but was noticable.

eleanor had silver stripes I think. I don't think blue would work, but that's me. Silver would be cool, a nice reflective silver. What kind of stripes are we talking, two down the middle, rocker panel stripes, one big stripe?

stripes.... find a color you like that complements your car!! Dare to be different. I put stripes on mine and it stands out in a crowd. I can spot my car a mile away.. Do you want to be seen or part of the crowd?

cool looking car... i wouldn't get body stripes tho'......

if you want something added, why not go with a hood stripe like the ones on the 85 GT? i think a black one would be ok, maybe even a greyish?

Sweet car. If it were mine I probably wouldn't strip it,but if you did I'd either do metal flake silver or something dark that would be ghosted in.

NICE RIDE
