Default Hardtop Color: Black or Color Matched?

I'm really torn between going black or color matching it to my car. I have a lot of carbon fiber parts on my car making me lean towards black for some more contrast but color matched looks really good too, anyone have any pics of black + lots of carbon fiber parts?

Matched always looks better, IMO.

I have a black top on GPW, and I constantly debate painting it white, especially since my windshield trim is white. But I sometimes think that black on GPW contrast is great. I may just end up having my windshield trim rewrapped, hmm.

I prefer color-matched to black. If you want a "clean" look, go with color-matched, otherwise go black for a more aggressive look.

I prefer color-matched, BUT in your case with your CF parts I think black would look great. The ideal would be the Challenge CF OEM replica, but that is mucho dinero of course.

Hmm, anyone know roughly what a quality shop would charge to repaint a hard top? In relation to a bumper, would it be about the same, or more?
