Does Anyone Know What Color Striping Should Go On It After, Red Or Black?

It could actually be either color unless the car came with a black vinyl top then if I'm not mistaken the stripe would be black. I don't think there is anyway to tell from a marti report or even the codes on your door tag as to what color stripe originally came on the car. I know my CS originally had a black vinyl top and black stripe but, since I've repainted the car full body color and removed the vinyl top, I've changed the stripe to white which I think looks better. Other site member may be able to shed more light on this topic though.

Any other ideas out there????

Don :cool:

I have a wimbleton white GT/CS with black striping.......so I am partial to that. However I have a poster that shows the white with a red stripe..............so I'd say, whatever your pleasure

I think its relative to your interior color ????????????

Trash has a red stripe with red interior , Mine was originally White and had a red stripe with red interior

could be wrong - but there is benchmark evidence around to support this theory.

Here's what I have for reference sake. I believe the stripe colors (blue, black, red etc...) do follow the interior colors...

Personally, I can envision red stripes only with a white (parchment) or red interior. Any other interior color might clash.

I agree Arlie. Keep the stripe the same as the interior or vinyl top color.

Steve;
I'm glad you added keeping it the same color as the vinyl top. My car if it still had the black top would look funny with a "red stripe" that matched my interior.
