I personally like body color with the stripe going through the handle so the stripe isn't cut off and then restarted. I did this on my MCS.



I you don't want the stripes over the handle then I would go with the black handle.

I think the black gets lost in the stripes. Seeing that your car is pretty much blacked out from what I can see, I would go with silver. Add or don't add stripes as you choose.
