Bronze is the best. Hardtop should be black. ASIMO solidarity. Whatever you do keep your ASIMO away from the Santa Cruz mountains. My ASIMO runs these streets.
I'm still torn on hardtop color. It won't be painted until the summer though because that's probably the next time I'll make it back. I like black, I feel like it may be adding too many varying colors to the car. If my ce28's were black then yes, my top would be black without a doubt. It's one of the golden rules, limit your colors. Who knows maybe my architecture teacher was BS'ing me because he wanted everything in white all the time.

That is the number one thing I miss the most from the states, pho. I went to the same place twice a week for 6 years before I came here, Benny and I were best friends, and he used cocaine in his broth so it was really, really addicting and really helpful with hangovers. You should definitely start a delivery service, just be fast enough that they don't have to reheat the broth!

I didn't realize how many people have Asimo's in the same place! You have one, I have one, Chris Lum has one, and I see them pop up from time to time. I like Asimo other than the fact that when he runs he looks like he has poop in his pants.

I vote all black. Two tone distracts heavily on the Mugen top. The lines do enough for a single color.

Hmm. I'll ponder for awhile.

This is my take on it as well. Two tone ends up looking a lot busier than all black top. Less OEM-y.

Thanks for the image. I think the bronze is dark enough that it doesn't make it "too busy" in regards to color.

I completely agree with you there. Single color is hands down the best for the Mugen top. And it looks terrible if that single color is Silverstone... Not a fan.

Nah, your teacher was dead-on with that belief.
