You want a tasteful look? Not a clown car. 1: NO stripes.2: All black interior. 3: NO colored brake calipers. Black wheels good with both interior and exterior. Body color side vents etc. Great for a refined smooth look.

Silver stripes with a black outline or vice versa would look good. Vettestripes.com will have what you're looking for. I recently put stripes on my CE coupe. Do I like them? Yes. Did I like the car without the stripes? Yes. Visually the car becomes sportier looking. Without the stripes, it was classier looking, imo. But no worries, people will still stare and give compliments. Plus it's a change and you can remove the stripes at anytime since they are just vinyl decals.. It's your car so have fun with it !

Some custom fender stripes I installed a few years ago. A small, reversible mod, that breaks up 16+ years of ownership.

Fender stripes are a nice look for sure. I'm still on the fence of going back to this look. But I will probably keep the hood stripes on for a while just for fun.

You should probably select the one YOU want. That is always the smart choice.
