Default Sebring Silver w/ Black hartop

Does anyone have a picture of a Sebring with a black hardop(factory)?
I had this combo on my Miata and loved it.

thanks

It won't look bad, but IMO it's not worth the money to buy a hardtop in black (other than if you have a black car) because from far away it really just looks like the soft top. I must say it looks awesome with GPW.

I actually tried this combo on my sebring just for fun, it looks ok.... not as good as a black top on white though. I'm going to be opting for a mugen hardtop painted silver with black sides, IMO that looks the best!

I asked this question before but never got an answer.---"How does a Silverstone top look on Sebring? Has anyone seen this combo"?
Even tho this combination sounds interesting, I doubt that it would be my choice but would still like to see for myself and then make up my mind. My "minds eye" tells me it should look very nice.

Sebring and Silverstone do not mix well. Makes the car look like a bad paint job.

Black HTs look good on all colors, and match the windshield surround. If you get a color matched HT you have to remove the tape too or it doesn't look good imo.

Not Sebring, but you can kind of get the idea:




I personally like the look of a black OEM hardtop on colors other than Berlina as it reminds me of the first gen NSXs (2nd gen NSX-R as well) with the unpainted roofs. Also, a black OEM top downplays the Miata-like shape of the top IMO.
