I bought mine from my local Parts Supplier, They are a 3M product, so quality is good, an d the instructions were clear and easy to follow. They cost $112.00 a couple of years ago. I think, on your sapphire blue, silver would look real nice - if they are available in silver, that is. I went for a red & black look myself.(see my avatar). Good Luck
Cheers, Ron B

It can depend on the overall colour combination, & it's all personal taste, but I tend to think if the main colour of the car is metallic then stripes often look better integrated in the design when they are metallic too.
I have a '67 FB in a darkish-blue metallic, & opted for silver for the painted on 'Shelby-style' stripes & the stick-on GT-style lower side body stripes rather than the usual plain white that is typically used.
Personally I like the 'C' stripes, as to me they make a car really stand out from the herd of modern cars including little Jap cars that can also have stripes stuck all over. And yes, the metallic or reflective ones do look especially good at night.
I found Photo-shop useful to mock up various colour combinations to help me decide before I painted.

I can get a good deal on reflective white C stripes,so at this stage wiil probably opt for them.Have'n't seen silver reflevtive so not sure but I think that reflective is the way to go.
