Default Race Stripe/ Tint Color?

I have a 2005 Flame Red Ram QC SLT with Chrome trim (handles, break lights, grill insert, bumpers, rims, etc, etc) and i want to get a matching fiberglass tonneau andsome racing stripes down it and tint the windows but i was unsure of the color choice. This is what i have it down to:

1. White striped w/ mirror-like tint all around
2. Black stripes with like 5% tint all around

Since I'm going with the chrome look, I'm not sure if black would look good and it might clash with the chrome... but I'm also unsure how the mirror-like tint would look on a Red Ram like mine...

Any feedback is appreciated.

Thank you in advance,
-David

Black tint always looks good with Flame Red.

I think either would look good, but the reflective windows would look good with the white racing stripe and it would be unique. Don't see that many, if any, reflective windows around where I live. Maybe it's illegal in Utah?

Thanks for the input guys, i plan on doing the racing striped with the viper hood front, like shown in the below pick



And the side angle...



Ive seen some pics of the white stripes on the Red Ram, but im not sure how the Reflective tint would look on it...

I also was messing with a pic of my truck and photoshop and if i put those viper stripes just on the hood (in black) and have the rest like the "after"
pic... it would look perty sick.

Before:



After:



I tried painting the stripe WHITE to see if it would clash too much with the black tint... and it looks like it does... well if im going with
the black tint its gonna be black stripes too...



Well thats enough pics
