Default stripes on black vert - check these out

hi
I have a blk/red '05 GT 'vert. Want to stripe it, but thinking of doing something a bit different from the normal twin-stripes up the middle.
I've seen several with offset stripes, actually think it looks good. I know lots of you will think I need two centered stripes, I'm just considering something less common. I may not go through with it, just an idea.

For laughs, I got my friend to Photoshop these onto my car.
just figured you folks might like to see them, particularly if you have a black stang.

I'm trying to decide between red and silver I think (white's good, but a bit stark). I always thought red would be good to match the interior, but in vinyl red seems to always come out looking bad IMO. So I'm leaning towards silver, perhaps a slightly wider main stripe than in these images.

let me know what you think

I think white looks the best against black however looks like your car got into a fight with Z06 and the Vette knocked one of your teeth out. Not trying to disrespect, but you asked.
