To Stripe or not to stripe?

Been thinking about it, and got a good deal on getting them painted on, only question is which color would look good on a black car? White? Silver? Grey? Matte Black? I just don't know. Anyone got any suggestions or maybe some pics of black cars with stripes?

Competition Orange stripes!
Seriously there is a Black coupe on another forum that has the Orange stripes and it looks killer.

But from those choices I like the silver or a carbon fiber look!

Gold would also stand out especially if it is gold leaf.

Gold stripping on a black Cobra reminds me of the Shellby Mustangs that Hertz rented out in 66-67. I think that they were H350GT

I would think that there is someone on this board that could photochop some different color stripes for you.

I'm leaning more towards the white now that I've seen some pics. Dark grey or silver just don't look quite right on the car in my mind. As far as ghost stripes go, that would look bad-ass, but I'm not sure what all goes into that or if that would be a more expensive route. If anyone has some photoshop skills better than mine, please feel free to post some up! Thanks for the opinions guys!
