Default Help with racing stripes

I have an 08 charcoal gray (dark) v6 with the white stripe "Mustang" on the rocker panel. I want to add racing stripes, but not sure what color. Do I need white stripes to match the rocker panel or can I go with something else. What have you guys seen that looks good? I have not seen many gray with racing stripes, and I need some input.

thanks!!

Take off the white rocker panel decals.
Go with black racing stripes. I always thought charcoal with black stripes looks classy.

Dark dark grey or matte black look real good. Pull off the white side stripe!!

Even though I have the white side stripe that came with the PP, I would take it off if I were going with a different color stripe.
I think the two would contrast too much and look odd unless they were of the same color.
One thing about striping, it has been suggested by many members here to get them painted on or have a coat of clear coat painted over the vinyl.
