If those are the options, I'd go Gold. If you're open to suggestions, red would be my choice.

On a tripple black car I would leave the stripes off, but white would be my choice if I had to put them on. Just my opinion.

Red, silver or gold in that order.

Flat black if you want great looks and a safe choice. Gold if you want it to pop. Definitely not white. IMO.

my opinion

Red or Silver stripe will look great on your car.

I agree but here's a thought... how about ghost stripes in silver or grey

I love red pinstripes on black cars. But I'm not so fond of wide red stripes or especially the big red splotches on a black OAI hood.

If I had to choose between white or gold stripes on a triple black car, well, just look to your left.

Wouldn't it be good to know the year of the car first? And whether he's interested in going factory stock or not? Cuz I don't know what "preferred" reall means - is that "what does the general consensus like?" Or "what did the factory recommend with this trim combo?"
