Default One More Request for Stripe Help

I am considering stripes for my car. If I do it will be the super snake stripes, wide stripe flanked by pins. I have a set of CS wheels and am considering somewhere from silver to charcoal as the stripe color that would play off the wheel color.

Can I get someone to show me the way, a couple color variations to get me started. The pics aren't the best, but it is all I have at the moment.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Xeno, that really helps. Torn between the first two, silver or charcoal.

So far the vinyl has been too light of a silver or too dark of a charcoal - beginning to feel like Goldilocks and her porridge. Just can't find the right color.

I would get them painted on, it may cost more but it is worth it. After a while the vinyl stripes will start to fade and look crappy.
