Default Stripe Color Help/Advice

I'm really looking at finishing the GS look on my car with a stripe from www.corvettestripes.com, but am having trouble deciding on colors

This is my car now.


This the style I want to go with (ME Stripes)


1st, I'm going to remove the logos, so I'll order the stripes w/o the cutouts. I want to stick with the red/black color scheme, so the center section will be black, but I'm not sure what to do with the sides (red on this car). The only thing I could think of was gray, but I don't really like that idea. So any suggestions would be appreciated.

I would go with white or black. If black is your accent color, then in my mind those are your two choices - white if you want contrast, black if you want a monochrome theme.....jmho.

White stripes down the middle with black outline. That would look really nice.

That's my car in your example photo. I considered going without the red stripes. a black center stripe without the side stripes might look good. Otherwise I would go with black/black.

I don't think you can do a third color!
