Default White or Black Grand Sport Hash Stripes On My '94 Dark Red Metallic?

Should I go with white or black grand sport hash stripes on my '94 Dark Red Metallic? Here's a pic of my car:



Also, if you feel that any other color, such as pearl white or something, would look better, please let me know! Thanks!

The Pantone 429 Silver Metallic would look cool.

That's the same silver metallic I was considering. That or just straight up white.

I think it looks great without the stripes.

To me the stripes detract from the clean look.

Love the dark red metallic color.

When I first read this, I was thinking silver, but after seeing it, I think I'd lean toward the white (although Stephen's car looks great). Contrast is always (IMO) best unless you are going for ghost. I also think the stripes look better on the 80's cars/

I like the stock look but i'm a purist. If you are definitely making the move, i'd go with black though.

clearly, to me, silver looks better, but if you don't know what you prefer, don't put the stripes on, you'll second guess yourself every time you see the car. cheaper and easier to leave it alone. you can't screw up doing nothing.

You could always go silver or black with the other color outline

It is a work of art, just as it is. Of course, that's just my opinion. I guess it is a way of personallizing your car-making it yours by making it different. But, there aren't so many of those around you that you need to separate yourself from the pack. That beautiful girl stands out on her own. If I have Ashlee Simpson on my arm, I don't need her to have a tattoo with my name on it to make her mine. JMHO.
