Default Racing Stripe Dilema

OK So I decided to get some racing stripes and cant decide what I want. I know that I want to make my car a really subtle car so nothing flashy like neon yellow or green but I do want the stripes. What I am thinking is something like matte black or grey stripes, maybe even a matte red. Not sure if I want to go with the standard dual stripe or the GT500 look or the shelby stripes so add those comments too on what you think is best for this kind of aplication as it needs to pop from something besides the color as the color wont stand out AS MUCH as a bright one.

So tell me the types of stripes yall think look good and then vote on a color or tell me another color if its not in the vote block

PS If you have a picture of a black car with matte color racing stripes post it so I can compare please

I think I like the Matte Black on black! Seen a couple recently that turned my head.

I prefer a gloss stripe, no matter the color.

gray is more appiling to the eye... gloss silver would be better

ORIGINAL: 2cokeman

I prefer a gloss stripe, no matter the color.
I like gloss also but not on this subtle build I am going for. I am taking all my badging off and have blacked out my headlights and tailights. the only peices I want to show are accents and even those might end up comming off like my billited gas cap and the billited front license plate holder but we shall see. Everything else is either blacked out or tinted except my fogs which is the eyes so they stay yellow maybe red someday we shall see.

Thanks for all the great responses so far sounds like black is the way to go but give it some more time maybe the popular vote will sway!
