Black is what I want mine to be, since it matches the grey do well, but I want a dark blue stripe to separate mine, I thing black go well with yours and throw some other blk stuff like rims and such =]

Black, silver and red is a great color combo. I would do the thin red stripe separating the black and silver and then add some other red touches like the calipers.
