Default Need your Help! (appearance, stripes, ...)

I am going to get my stock KONA BLUE V6 next week. And need your help with the following mods...

SPORT STRIPES DECALS:
> what color would look good on Kona blue? (if you have pictures please post, or post links)
I am thinking metalic black. Don't want a huge contrast, b/c I will be driving it to formal functions and work.
> How wide?
I am thinking 10 inch with side pinstripe, or 12 inch without the pine stripe.
> Where can I order them? most sites don't have what I am looking for. (not looking to get them painted)<<<<<

SIDE-STRIPES
> where can I get good side-stripe decals? *****

TINTED WINDOWS
> what is the legal limit in Washington state and California?
> where can I order the decals for it

INTERIOR:
> What modifications should I do to the interior?


======================================
Second phase of modifications:
What other modes I should make before taking it to the track...(very reluctant to touch the engine) (less than $1000 for this part, excluding tires)
Breaks?
Stability?

Welcome to the promise land-- stripes of all shapes, colors and size!

I think white or silver stripes would look killer on kona blue.

Your avatar says you are getting a 11 V6.
Did you change to an 11 V8 or an earlier year V8?

I've seen matt black on that color and white which both look good. As far as the stripes I would go a 10" duel stripe with a 1" gap in the center and quarter inch pin stripes with quarter inch gaps.

Since it's a v6, IMO i'd go with the 10' stripes with the 1/2' pin stripes. I've only seen the Kona blue with black stripes, Silver or White would definitely look great as well.

good luck!

I am thinking black or silver....
from the pictures I have seen silver or white are more common
But I want something more subtle so I was thinking black, but the pictures of black on kona don't look as good as pictures of silver on kona. Maybe in real life they look equally good. So its a hard decision.

Black or silver, this is the question?

I am not 100% sure if I can do 12 inch on 2011... It might be hard to install
