Re: what color stripe
Black looks good on most colors especially when you have other black parts like black grill and black buckets,etc. I did see a teal car once with white stripes.Looked OK. White will show more .

Re: what color stripe
You say "side stripe". Do you mean a hockey stripe?
If so, I say black or white. You should Photoshop or have someone Photoshop black and/or white stripes on a teal car to see how they look first.

Re: what color stripe
My first 89 was painted that color. I added "hot pink" pin-stipes that looked (IMO) very good.

Re: what color stripe
You could always go with an off white cream color, kind of 50's retro.

Re: what color stripe
Silver sounds good now that it's been mentioned.
If you're gonna put stripes on the hood, put them on the rear decklid and skip the side stripes. It'd be too much on the hood AND side.

Re: what color stripe
agreed. not both..
if you want something on the side, make it subtle, and low, like above the ground effects
