Default Which paint scheme to go with?

Hey guys i need some opinions on which paint scheme to go with. I just ordered the ACI vette rear wing and silver metalic comemorative style stripes . This is for a black 2001 Z06.

I had 3 options in mind

1-paint wing to match stripes, and paint bottom indented portion of rear bumper to match the stripes also


2-paint the wing black and paint the entire rear of the car silver(just the rear face not the whole bumper cause it extends to the sides)

3-paint the wing black and paint the entire rear of the car silver EXCEPT for the lower indented portion of the rear bumper(leave it black)

I suck at photoshop or else i'd give it a shot.

I'd go with painting the spoiler black, then if you want more accent colors, go with the silver on the lower portion of the rear fascia. JMO but good luck in whatever you decide.

i've realized that the stripes extend all the way to the rear, so i'm going to cut them and apply them on the wing where it meets with the car.

this leaves out painting the wing silver.

Thanks for the advice.. i'm open to opinions.
