Smile About racing stripes

I have a 2007 Silver ss cobalt. i was thinking of putting racing stripes on it. I saw a factory 2008 cobalt with balck stripes, but I was thinking about putting a diiferent color stripe on it. I received some samples form auto-design. i was thinking about putting on red stripes. Anyone have any idea what color stripe would look good on a silver cobalt?

If you want to stand out, i think blue would be sick or red. But black would be boss also

I don't think red would look very good... I would stick with black or like a gunmetal color.

maybe do horizontal stripes that run along the side of the car, but up top, kinda running over the door handle. i think that would look good. and color. i would say black or blue. red would look kinda bad unless you have red accetns elsewhere, same with blue though.

you really want something that will stand out but not be too in your face? get a shade of silver just a hint darker than what you have with a little blue pearl in it.

I don't think stripes go very well on a cobalt, so if you want it to work you need to do something unusual but tasteful.

I was toying with the idea of a different hue of silver/gray stripes on my silver balt in the future.

don't buy from auto trim design, have a graphics shop/vinyl shop do it for you. The precut pieces are very hard to work with and a custom job will look better and save you money.

I did blue stripes on my balt. Since this pic I've gotten rims and my headlight assembly is blue to match the rest of the car. Interior is painted blue and LEDs, ya just blue and silver all around. Its not bad.
