Do you think gold stripes would look cool on a Teal Camaro?

I was thinking about it, and most colors of SS stripes wouldnt look good on a teal car, then I got to thinking and I thought maybe gold stripes would look cool. What do you guys think?

black, silver and purple look best on teal IMO, white can look good too, but I'd go for a nice royal purple if I were you. I don't think the gold would look too good.

I saw a teal camaro with silver on the hood louvers and the front grill, looked pretty good. Gold with the license plate MR.T and you would be set.

No. Not gold. That would look really bad. I'd go for the white stripes.

white, silver or black.. Don't go gold.. Gold doesn't work on any color, and IMO wouldnt work on green especially...

put the 25th anniversary stripes on the car, but get the black ones, tint your windows, put some blackouts on the back, it ll look sharp, if you dont like black stripes id say purple although it ll probably look somewhat girly

Sorry guys. :P I think that purple or silver would look good on a teal car. if you had a dark green car, then gold would possibly look good, of if your car were white.

Just to mention, I might be obtaining my friend's 84 Camaro, and drop my 81 350 into it, and retain the 5 speed. should be a lot of fun, hopefully.

You don't know how to post them and you are a moderator? If you got a website, someone can give you the code to show you how to post, I have it written down, but its not with me right now.
