Based on your screen name, I'd go with the flat black. Flat black looks absolutely sick! However, silver looks good too, but a more classic good looks, whereas the flat black is more sinister IMO. I'm sure some of the other TMS'ers will have some pics. If not, I can probably find some on my computer when I get home.

you should post a pic of your car, different wheels will affect the color choice. Gold looks good and is a classic combo. Agree with the flat black comments. Dark grey will look better than silver IMO. Red can look good with the right parts.

Try red they really look cool. The red stripe package was available on GT 500s and on some of the early Mustang GTs in the mid 60s. I have an extra set if your interested. These were premium vinyl cut for a Shelby GT Mustang and go bumper to bumper.

Look at my car and see what you think.

Looks aside, flat black is a real PITA to try and keep looking good. If you don't mind re-doing them often or having a less then perfect finish then it'd be OK, but long term I've never seen any flat black paint on a vehicle look good for any real amount of time.

It is really going to depend on what else you have done to your car and/or what you are planning on doing.

I have alloy metallic (a real dark gray) that I still need to put on my car along with matching GT 350 rocker panel stripes.

My Dad has Alloy (G5) painted on his 2009 Shelby GT500. It's an AWESOME combo. Let me see if I got a good pic around here...

Ah yes here we go!
