stick with the red w/ black stripes, the differnet color on the roof makes it lok like your tryin to appear as a droptop. when all fails paint it white. it is the most forgiving color.

the white was only to make the car look a bit like a polish flag. but right now the red and black will probably win

stripes are somewhat hard to paint! the black top only looks good on the camaro imo

stripes are too far apart. black looks like a rag top. white is bleh. keep the mirrors body color.

Well in that case def go for stripes! good learning experience. And if it comes out good it will at least be unique if not pretty cool

the black with the stripes looks best IMO. I would just place them closer together.
