Rio Red GT. Below is an older picture of the car from the "for sale" ad. I am planning to ad a set of "Cobra Rally" stripes (https://www.bmcextremecustoms.net/19fomucorast.html), but I keep going back and forth with color. I am thinking either white or black. I like the visual "pop" of white on Rio Red, but black will tie in better with the black top. Now, the reality is I rarely have the top up - usually only when I wash the car, or have to leave it parked for some period of time. So, help me decide. If someone has photoshop abilities and is willing to post as A - B comparison that would be great.

If you had a hard top I would have said white, but with a black top I would say black or graphite like ttocs said.

Appreciate all the replies and opinions. In the end, I am on old-fart and opted for old-school. White it is. Really considered silver for a bit, but the classic white on red won out. I'll post pics shortly.

It was a kit. Came from Motor-ink.com. My wife and I did the install - not too difficult. Precut pieces (front bumper, hood, roof (obviously I didn't use this), trunk deck and spoiler. Available in a lot of different color options. They call is a "Cobra Rally Stripe".

I used the ford mustang builder online once and you can see any color stripes on any color stang. What I found after I tried them all was, believe it or not, the yellow stripes went with every color and any color stripes went with the yellow. But, I had a reo red vert, and I asked black accents with my black top. Here's a before and some after.Screenshot_20220625-181859.pngScreenshot_20220625-181928.pngScreenshot_20220625-181942.png
