Black Scorpion Needs New Stripes...What Color?

Hello all, I need your help.

My black on black MCS currently has gray metalic 'viper' stripes. I thought it looked great...at first. Unfortunately, it looks like a RAIDERS car! YUCK! I am thinking of changing the color of my stripes but to what? If you look at my gallery you can see what its current look is.
Any suggestions?

They fade/appear as you move around the car and look at them from different angles.

I say go matte black. You'd get a real hardcore commando look.
