I need some opinions! do you think all silver with charcoal striping would look better or the opposite? also I was thinking the same with Black and silver, but I'm having a hard time imagining which would look better. The interior on my coupe is all black

Thank you for the opinion. I think that will look classy and mean at the same time.

The classic white on my '72 is now 'bout 40 years old. Look at my sidebar pic, as car is currently all tucked away for the winter and the temp is about 25 degrees out there!
