Either would look good, I have the same color and will be going black. However, would never consider doing the gas cap in black.

Dude, your car looks awesome. That flat black solid stripe rocks.
I wouldn't add a thing...looks so tuff as is.
Whatever you do...don't change those wheels for any black rims. They rock as is with your color combos.

Chrome pins and chrome fuel cap will look good because the wheels are chrome. Don't forget the rear louvers and 2 post rear deck spolier. Just my 2 cents.

retro = chrome
course you could just plasti dip the gas cap and see how you like it...if you don't care for it it peels right off

Your car looks great now. Since you asked, I'm partail to blacking out everything. Gives the car more of a evil look. I have the black fuel cover ordered for mine. The chrome is more retro if that's the look your going for. You can't lose either way. Good luck...

I vote for the black hood pins and fuel door.Better contrast against the silver paint,...chrome would just blend in a little too much for my liking against a silver based paint.

Your car's emblems are 1970 MY Retro correct w/o any stripes. As previously stated Retro = Chrome, not black.

If decide to stripe the car ... R/T Longitudinal Stripe (below beltline) is correct 1970 style.

1971 R/T Stripe, ala R/T Classic ... then you need to reinstall Challenger script in proper location but you would loose the R/T emblem. As cars from 1971 MY didn't have both.
