Default GS Fender Stripes Idea

I have been thinking of adding GS fender stripes to my '01 Torch Red coupe. I have contacted vettestrips and sent him this picture I captured from the NCM. He said he could make any color, but recommened an inner metallic dark charcoal and outer metallic gunmetal. he is sending me a sample, but I think these are more of a semi dark gray with a white outer boarder. What do you think of this color combo?

Looks like white or maybe a silver border. I like the combo in the pic

They had one in that same color combo when I was there last week. The outer stripe was silver, and the inner was charcoal grey, on that one. Looked good, if you're into the stripes.

Gonna put them on both sides or just one? I like the colors in the pic because they seem to tie in with the interior.
