Can't decide on a stripe/accent color. Help!

I'm having the hardest time choosing a stripe/accent color for my car. At first it was gonna be simple gloss black; but I started looking at more roush cars, other ghig cars, and snakeskin green vipers making my choice a lot harder.

So far it's between gloss black, pearl white, silver, and a dark graphite type color.

I wanna make it different(well more different than it is) but at the same time I'm scared to go away from a proven combo(black)

My car has the FP8 package(black mirrors, and spoiler) and gloss black RTR replicas. However I'm willing to change stuff in order for a combo to work

Gloss black was the way it came when I bought it, FP8 package. Then the wheels I got for a steal from a buddy cause I wanted a little lighter and wider wheels than the factory machined/black 19s

So I'm not tied to the black at all

I would do black. Make it your own stripe and make it different that way but I think as far as color black will be best. Got anymore pics of your car?

I think black rocker panel stripes would be a great black/green ratio. A black roof decal would probably look good too.

Yep. It'll go nicely with the black and it'll give you some diversity. You can also include it in your interior easily.

At first I wasn't a big fan of carbon but now it's growing on me the more I see it

I know I won't be going with orange though. Saw a picture of a ghig with orange stripes at a car show yesterday, and did not like it at all. Definitely different though lol

Carbon Fiber, that's what I'm doing to my vert. My husband did that on one of his cars and he got compliments all the time.

Mine already had the Over-The-Top stripe that I ordered from the factory. I just added the Saleen SMS 302 Chevrons to accent the side view.

I did this stripe width because I liked the narrow stripe package on my GT500 with SVTPP package. I'm personally not a fan of the wider dual stripe. JMO

I'm not either but IMO a little bit wider on the stripes would have filled the hood much better.
They are just thin... Like stripes on the road.

White and Silver sound interesting, but I'd have to see it.
If you're keeping your wheels then black for sure.
