Default suggestions for stripes on the 05'

im putting two, 10 inch racing stripes with a quarter inch stripe surrounding them across the hood, roof, and trunk of my monte, but i can't decide what colors i want them to be?? (im open to many color options).. My monte is white, so it is basically a blank canvas that can roll with a lot of colors. I just want it to look good..Also, the chevy emblem on the back is blue, but i figured i can always get a different one to match the color of the stripes.. That is why im having a hard time choosing a color. Also, the quarter inch stripes can be a different color then the 10 inch ones.. Any suggestions?? PLEASE HELP!!! much appreciated, thanks!

One of our members, Blazed_SS, used to have a set of Orange Reflective stripes down his white car. Looked very very sharp.

I also like Red on a white car. It's unique.

Regarding the trunk-lid badge, just remove it. Double-sided tape is all that holds it on. Since you have an 05 you don't have the keyhole there, so it will look really clean.

@Blazed - WOW! I never realised your original stripes were reflective! The paint used when you got your hood, is it reflective at all?

wow love the orange stripes blaze! And I'm with Chibi on this one just remove the Chevy emblem from the trunk, I have an 04 LS and sadly it has the key hole but it still looks ten times better without the emblem, I literally just removed mine about 5 mins ago. It was tacky with a blue emblem and a smoke grey car when I removed it it looked smoother and a lot better.

yes I did and they do in the reflective in white, black ,blue, orange, red, and purple
once you pick your stripes out then you go to the second list the color list they are 3/4 of the way down and the say reflective behind the color .
they were great to work with I highly recommend them !!
