Default Paint Color poll

I'm getting closer to paint and have the base color picked out, its all Switchblade Silver. Its a stock 2010 GM color seen on Camaros and Tahoes among others. I can't make up my mind I have Carmine Red interior. Losing sleep on this, really.

In my minds eye silver with charcoal z stripes would look best. Plain silver I think the car would look unfinished and the interior would be jumping out at you. If any more red were added to the exterior it would bring out the interior also. A bold charcoal stripe thou would be a great contrast to the silver and the interior. JMO

I have to agree with pablo,the darker charcoal stripes would give contrast to the silver,and would definitely give it a finished look.

I personally would go with the red/orange stripes on the silver...it would compliment that red interior nicely....i wanted red stripes on my car but w/ blue interior that would be a sin lol...

^^^LOL yes it would.
This pic is more what I'm goning for in stance and ride hieght. The gold one might be too low to be practical, but my car is already lowered so there's no going back. I thought some visual aids might help. You can see the last one at popular hotrodding.com

I accidentally punched the wrong choice when I picked silver with charcoal Z28 stripes. Didn't see the last choice of silver with charcoal stripes. I like the parallel stripes better, as they look more like the early Camaros.
