Red hood stripes looks good on black.

Just some suggestions on colors that would work well as accents on black - red, silver, some shades of gold.

You'll find predominantly Silver decal stripes on Black Corvettes.

I like the silver/gray best from above pics. If I did it to mine, I would do a reversible like decal or vulnerable stripes

On black, flat or satin black stripes would be my choice. The contrast of gloss and matte looks good to me. But the best of all, if you don’t like it or grow tired, pick another style/color and do it again.

Yea, this is more what I was thinking rather than silver. Just a very subtle accent.

Keep in mind that you can also have the stripe vinyl printed with what ever graphics you like. Lots of options to be creative. Let us know what you decide.

Black looks good with just yellow hash marks and calipers, or as said about matte black full stripes or ghost stripes look cool.
