Default Orange Stripes

Are a cool addition I think. Which colour would go best with it? I'm thinking black, silver, white or laguna blue...with orange stripes

Sir, To answer your question, Lime Rock Green IMOP. The problem I'm having with the GM Stripes, is they look like vinyl "stickers" verses painted into the finish. On my Pologreen, I had the clear sanded off, then laid the Inferno Orange and the re-cleared and polished. Here is a pic of my car and a silver with orange stripes.

Black would look good with those stripes.

White would too.

just hold off...in another thread it was stated all the colors will be available as over-the-counter parts purchases at your GM dealer, or our forum vendors....not to mention custom colors and designs will turn up from various sources as with earlier generations. A decal is a decal whether applied by GM or you.

I'm thinkin' Black body with Lime Green stripes would be badass.
