i wouldnt go with the blue metal flakes it might look like a fish boat i think the white stripes would look better but if you asked me what to go with i would say put yellow stripes and get the yellow and black z28 badges(but you didnt ask me did you) i think it looks cool and how many others like that do you see. silver stripes would probably look better than white stripes

I personally like the ghost flame stuff. I'm not too sure what its called, but maybe taking some of that stuff and doing like CAMARO emblems in it. I think that would look pretty sweet. I also think the silver stripes look pretty good on a black car. When I paint my bird, I may consider a ghost bird. I think that would look pretty slick.

I'd go with either of the flakes, but not stripes. If you get stripes, go for the Heritage stripes, those look good. Ghost flames would be sweet... black with blue ghost flames.. beautiful. Anyway, when you make a decision, make sure you're 110% happy with it cause its your car. Good luck.
