There is a car in your same color that I see on the way to work sometimes with an orange-ish red set of stripes.
I think either white or black would look good.
I've been debating putting a set on my car, but I haven't decided if I like it better with or without yet. Plug it into paint and make a quick mock up like this:

What about white stripe down the middle of the car and silver stripes on the fender?

Post a side pic of you car, and I'll throw on a couple colors in paint and you could see what it'd look like.

I would go with the black, thinking about it on my 90 as well and just blacking out the back, no stripe in the middle. not yet right now. use plasti dip, spray it on and if you dont like it peelit off.

Sounds like you're set on doing this. But I really think that stripes like that are an overstatement for a Corvette. Might look OK on a Mini Cooper.

Black stripe, to complement the blacked-out roof panel. If doing a centre stripe, white.
That said, I feel like aqua metallic is too pretty and refined to put a stripe on. I'd put stripes on black, red, or white in a heartbeat, but anything else makes me hesitate.

If the wheels were black I would go for black, the silver would flow better, the others draw too much attention.

Well my stripes came in today. I thought I'd order a set and see if I liked em. So far I am liking the look, especially with my black top.
