I'm trying to figure out what color superbee stripe to use on my F7 (or what will be :eyes: ) green 72 with green interior and a white vinyl quarter top.  I have a black stripe photoshopped on there (thanks DS) as on my sig pic, but it has recently come to my attention that i should consider a white stripe.  Your thoughts?  :2thumbs:

Oh yeah, white is the one. At night or low light, black would just be lost. White is always there as an awesome color complement. :Twocents:

I like white on chargers as an interior and accent color. That being said I'm not sure that a white stripe would look good on that color combo. I like the black in the sig pic but you also talk about the white quarter top. The top in the sig looks grey/silver to me so..

Guess I am saying it would be nice to see a cheap photoshop and check it out before I shoot it down but up front I say no.

My 72 is going to be GY9 (Dark Gold Metallic) which is actually more green than gold and WHITE is the way to go.

With the white vinyl top, I'd personally do a white stripe....

Black.
You can always change it.

charger2fast4u

i think i vote black. white kinda looks outa place in that pic above. maybe seeing it in person it would look better and in place more with a white stripe.

twodko

I dunno, black waist stripes, pin striping or belt stripes have always looked classy and elegant to me, especially on muscle cars.

With the white VT you've got I hafta vote........................................white.

I think it is a toss-up for me - either would look great.

Foreman72

thats DS! ...i wasn't expecting that :lol:


well...heres what i've been thinking...the only thing that'll be white on the car is the top...the grille will be blacked, i'll have a black chin spoiler and i have the rallye taillights which have black louvers...so i think a black stripe make sense...

but i'm still open to other ideas :scratchchin:

maybe you could do a black vinyl top, then black stripe wouldn't look so out of place
