Blue Car - what color body tape?

If you have a Gemini Blue car, and put the RS type tape on it instead of the S type trim, what color should the tape be?

Black seems like it won't have enough contrast and silver seems too showy -- too much contrast....

Ideas?

or anybody have photos of similar color combos?

Yep, I'd at least consider gray or a satin silver for the script/stripes. Then have your Fuchs refinished with raw-anodized centers (to closely match the color of the tape) and polished lips.

I asked the same question a few years ago. I still haven't done it, but I'm 90% sure I'll go with a graphite grey type color.

Who can photoshop my car?

Oh, and there was 1 real RS made in Gemini blue, custom ordered.

It has a black script.
