Purchased it today - it looks awesome.
Question: What color should the stripes be (Black or Red)

WooHoo! I have a Laser Blue R56, which is a little lighter in color than your Lightning Blue. I have done some minor striping on mine and have always prefered black. Red is interesting, but after a short while it seems too have too much of a Super Man / Spider Man / Captain America feel to it. Black is still neutral enough its a safe color.

Grizld700 - I can't get Spider Man red strips out of my mind. At first it would be fine, but it would bug me until I broke down and had the clear bra removed/replaced.
I only want to pay for the clear bra one time.
Blue/Black on the outside.
Black/Red on the inside. (JCW interior has red accents, the Chilli red dash just continues it)
I'm retired Naval Aircrew, I'm really used to having things red (lights/trim) on the dash to save night vision.

Congrats,
" R59 FJCW in February (Lighting Blue w/ Chili Red dash)." Now that's a contrast in color. Need more pics. Glad you were able to get some of the last R59's and in a JCW model to top it off. Very nice.
