What color stripes look best on a white SS/RS

Gentlemen/Ladies,

I just purchased a 2011 white SS/RS. I'd like to stripe it but need some suggestions for stripes. Pictures would also help. Thanks for your time.

Keep on Rockin,

Mj

Your choice, almost any color works, but understand that it will probably effect your other cosmetic mods

What color looks best? Whatever color you like best..

Welcome to the Camaro5 family.. Keep in mind that it's your car, do what you want to make you happy.

White isn't that strong of a color by itself.. it's kind of plain, but it's a blank canvas for a strong, contrasting color to make it pop.

Best piece of advice I can give, is whatever color you choose for stripes.. carry that same color throughout your theme. So, consider that when choosing what parts are available.

IE: if you choose black rally strips, then keep that theme going if you also do gill strips, underhood accessories, interior color/accessories like door panels and such.

Black is an obvious choice for a contrasting color for white.. because they are exact opposites.

But Orange is also a beautiful color to choose and it's a bit different.. and they make interior knob kits, underood accessories, and other details in orange.

Just about any other GM Camaro color can be used as a contrasting color for white and have it look good.. (except for Rally Yellow).

I like the CGM cyber gray rallys on white. In some light, look silver, sometimes look blackish. Very sharp.

Orange is the classic look but you seen one you've seen them all. The color of choice seems to be black, red and orange. Some blues out there as well. I personally like the look of silver. If I was going to do black I would change the pattern up a little. Like below.

Silver looks good to but I am not a big fan of the single stripe.
