I think white stripe/s with a black pinstripe would be hella tight (trying to keep up on my teenage lingo).

I know Will (qa1142) was thinking about this last year. I know he has a drawing or two of the Gulf look LE style if you know what I mean.

Will you out there?

Navy blue might be a good trim color, if it was the right navy blue.

I've wanted to get a vinyl version of the single orange (black outline) arrow as used on some of the Gulf 908 spyders that ran the Targa Florio. I think it'd look "amusing" on my car...

white would be a nice color with the light blue, the orange is also very good. I think the navy blue would also be nice maybe one on the lighter side. Personally I like the orange. I think a real dark color might be too contrasty with the light blue so a black stripe may not be that great looking. Adding a number on the door and hood will make it like a race car!
