I think black would be better, or maybe even a slate grey

Hi,
Does the car in Terry's last picture have THRUSH side exhaust on it?
If so, I haven't seen those in years!
Regards,
Alan

To my eye how far the stripe's rear band is behind or in front of the bumper tip has more impact than the color.

I think it depends mostly on the base care. Light car black, dark car white.

I like black on red because it is more sinister looking. On Blue I like white because I think its a cleaner look.

Interior plays a part too. For instance... Red w/wwhite int - white stripe etc.

I'm considering a motion stripe too. Hammered Metallic Maroon or Torch Red.

Damn the decisions.... damn the choices....
