There is a guy here where I live who has a BRG and it looks amazing. I believe his roof is either BRG or it is black. But what sets it off is he used yellow stripes. I believe they are the viper stripes that start from the bumper and go all the way to the back. He also has goldish rims (however they are darker than the normal gold rims). The rims you have would look great too.

IMO I think the black stripes would be to difficult to see.

I would love to trade you my mirror caps for yours. I have been looking for checkered caps for awhile. Mine are the stock black ones so I'm not sure if they come off or not.

If you have photoshop or another program like that I suggest you take a look at what the yellow stripes with BRG/ or Black roof would look like.
