Man, that's a tough one, although I'd have to say black to match the stripes on the hood. But the gray does look good too but I wouldn't go that way unless you matched the stripes.

If the car was one color I would have to say the grey, but because of the black stripes I would say stick with the black.
Actually I think black would do better for a red or yellow (maybe white) vette, but, personally I would change the stripes to grey. Grey just seems to compliment the primary color much better. Good luck

You always need to remember, gray is what black looks like when it gets old and fades.

An alternative would be to do the entire rear in black and then the letters with grey to match the paint color.

They gray looks very good, but since the other stripes are black, I'd just continue with that combination on the rear fascia.

Tough choice. I like the grey a lot, but even if you change the stripes, your roof is still black. I still vote for grey if it is that shade.

I went with black since you have the black stripes. I think it will tie in nicely. I have to tell you though the grey looks like it would be an awesome contrast as well. You can't go wrong with either.

The grey gives it a "classy" look. The black is a more aggresive look. Now you need to figure out how you want others to percieve your car.
