I think flat black would look good.

well IMO i believe a stunning pee yellow, puke green, or diarrhea brown. And if you wanna go all out I'd say a nice clear stripe.

Definitely go with flat black to match the rocker stripes. Since you already have the black rockers, different color strips would not look right. If you decide on a different color, get matching rockers or ditch them all together.

Whew, I didn't expect this much attention so fast!

Wow! Thank you for the pictures, those really helped. I think I'm leaning a lot more towards black now.

Now that you mention red I can't get that picture out of my mind! I'm gonna have to look up a few examples.

More then once Supersnake stripes have been mentioned. Is it just the look of these over, say the black striped one that Adam linked to? I Google imaged these stripes and have seen them before. But if anyone has any more beautiful examples I'd love to see them.

I appreciate all the replies and suggestions. Besides tint and stripes, a few other things on my appearance list are:
  • a new front grill
  • the black panel in the bevel of the trunk lid
  • foglights in the grill
  • new tires/rims
  • lowering the car some. (is this expensive/difficult?)
  • tailight tint (maybe headlight tint)

Now I also want to tune the engine, but this after the appearance mods. I have a few reasons for this. I haven't had a spotless driving record, and I want to mature a little more before I beef up the engine more, even if it is a V6. It's also more expensive.

So many choices! I like the red and blue because they make a statement, but black is just a classy look.
