Default What color Stripes?

The final decision is up to you. I would go down to the local sign maker and have him or her put color samples on your car to see what you like. They go on and off with water. They have free scrap vinly to see what it looks like.

I was fortunate that my brother in law owns a vinyl shop. We looked at several different colors with the car as the background. (He had a sample book)

A vinyl shop will be able to put the stripe on the car with a computer software. But it doesn't do the car justice.

I chose a Gunmetal Grey Metallic. Turned out awesome on my black car. The metallic shows up really nice in the sunlight, but doesn't stick out like a sore thumb. You can barely see it on a cloudy day.

Good luck with your choice.

Check out the pics on my profile. I have dome ghost silver stripes on black. I think on yours I agree with above. A shade darker red thean the color of your car sounds cool

i think white would look good on a dark red. you can also never go wrong with black.

+1 on the silver or white. White and red looks awesome everyone has black stipes white one pop off the car very rally style I would recomend having them painted on for a cleaner look.

if you could get the stripes in a flat black, it might look kinda hot!
