Default Hard top color changes

hey everyone again. so i have another cosmetic question for you guys. this ones a little more expensive, so i want to make sure im happy with what i get and im hoping to get your input to help me make a decision.

I bought a hard top a few months ago and its ssilver, my s2000 is gpwhite so it doesn't look horrible but i know it can look better. so i need to decide: black or white?

the other side of this, that was brought up to me by another member, was that i could get it wrapped to preserve the original paint. i did a little asking around and its not much cheaper. like 100$ more or less, plus it wont last as long but if i needed to sell it at least i could remove it. if you have any advice as to where to ask around for some possible better pricing on this let me know and ill look into it but so far it doesn't seem totally worth it.

any who, let me know what you think, thank you!

White and black combo is sexy. I vote for that.

If you run the white on white it looks kinda odd..... you need some Breakup on the paint. Listen to Tony and run it black

Try going to Thompson auto body. Its on Foster by u-pull. They do things fast and really good paint quality.

Great price and color matching is extremely close or matched. usually 99% matched.


as of black on white, it will look good, but if you want to be different I'd say go color match everything. If I have a hardtop, I'd color match mine. But again you have gpw which will look good either way

^Haha I was wondering the exact same thing. Personally if its OEM I would keep it white but if its not then black would be the better choice.
