I'd do gloss metallic black to match the trim.

If you have red interior or red calipers, this would look nice

Many have gone with the below Jake (not my car). You can paint just about anything. BTW, it's called a "Stinger."

Not white but just sharing how I did mine. Painted stinger on hood, not vinyl sticker. IMHO looks MUCH better going around the vent instead of the sharp angle the sticker uses to meet the top of the vent.

I cannot think of any color but black that would work on your existing color combination. The stinger would then coincide with the black venting accents on the Arctic White, and black wheels. The Kalahari interior really throws a monkey wrench into your stinger color options, I'm afraid....

Carbon flash to match vents, mirrors, etc. Cleared so no cheap *** paint line. Just can't see putting a vinyl sticker on such a nice car...

Maybe color matching the kalahari or a dark brown but that would look tacky IMO. Black goes with anything.

I have one on mine but it is a decal. Has supercharged on each side. You could, of course, paint the same thing.

Black to match the rest of the trim would be best IMO.

That's the code. Paint is expensive metallic double regular paint usually. Be prepared to get gouged for that plus corvette tax at a shop lol.
