Default hardtop paint question

I have a gloss black mugen rep HT that I want to paint GPW to match my 08. Here is the question though: Typically people leave that spot behind the drive and passenger windows black. Does anyone think it would look good ALL white instead? Also, if I decided to leave that area black, what lines do people follow to decide where to start the white paint?

If I'm being a little to complicated, I'll include some pictures of my hardtop and highlight the areas that I have in question. Thanks.

John

Does it matter what others think? If you think it looks good then do it. Polling is never the way to determine what you prefer.

I've seen a few pics with the sides painted as well and honestly I dont think it looks that good.

I'd leave the sides black and the rest color matched to the car.

I agree with leaving it black. I can't find a picture of it all painted but it does look odd.

Here is a picture of an unpainted FRP one in all white.
