Color scheme?

So I'm loving the color people are adding to their CMs! I'm at the point where I want to put some stripes on my cm (when it gets here ) and I was thinking about the viper stripes with the big and little double stripe and wondering what you guys, who have seen the color in person, think would be a good color to go with on the little stripe (and on the air vents in the lower grille and possibly the mirror caps)? I'm thinking about black (possibly matte) for the big one but have having trouble thinking of one to go with it. Ideas?

Add me to the "maybe stripes" category.

If you are doing another color besides black on the surf blue, I think it has to be white. Not too many other colors will look ok with it.

Or go ***** to the wall and do a coordinating red/orange, but I'd design it in photoshop first

I'd try and see your color/stripe combo in person first, rather than in the configurator, if possible. For example, we wanted Royal Grey and I was certain we were going to get black roof/mirrors. Had it designed in the configurator and printed out and all ready to go... The dealer had two Royal Grey CMs, one with black roof and one with body color, and the body color roof looked way better in person. Luckily we were able to see it in person before ordering.
