Default Advice on theme....Rally flag?.

I have a 2011 GS, Cyber Gray, gray wheels, red hash stripes, 2 tone titanium interior. I also put "Red" vinyl in the rear Corvette insignia to see how I like it.

Now.........I don't have a license plate frame yet........I keep looking at that "rally flag" type one that lets your car color show through.........the problem is that it's chrome......and they said no black chrome exists. Long story .........shortened slightly........I'd like to do VERY subtle rally flag tweeks for my theme. I like that narrow rally flag stiping down the hood w/a narrow red pinstripe on someone's car here.............but maybe would like it "ghosted" if that's possible. And finally...........some vendor on here has the console in a rally flag kinda swirl.........too much? No solution to the chrome issue right now unless someone can do a custom job. Chime in please. I can't paste the pics I guess so you'd know WTH I'm talking about.
Tx all for any input.

Sounds beautiful as is, careful not to mess it up with something gaudy

...agree w/ya. I'm very unsure about the console....too gaudy I'm thinking. But, the subtle hood stripe, esp. if ghosted could be good. We'll see. Tx for your response.

What does a rally flag look like? Is it a black and white checkered flag?

IMO don't do the console(too wacky) or license plate frame. Maybe the hood stripes would look good but I'd have to see a picture. I'd keep the license plate frame simple, body color or brushed aluminum. It's just a license plate frame, not a design feature.

Post some pictures of your car. It sounds beautiful.
