it only looks good when you have a black car to leave it on. i think if you have a color it needs to come off

I highly disagree with that. I think the yellow looks GREAT with the tape on. And like I stated before, if I ever get a hard top, it will be a black one and really make the look of the car so much better.
IMHO

if you know you are getting a black hard top yes i agree too, but remember our car was designed as a convertible and its ment to have the top down and with the top down it looks great with the tape off.

But, with the black top up it looks great with the tape. Unless you have a blue top?

I know many that discovered the tape are happy with their removal of it. My personal opinion is that it looks just fine with it. However, I am curious as to why Honda put it on in the first place. I mean, why not just paint them all black or not put any tape on it in the first place?

thats what i was wondering too, i don't really understand why they would do that. but i heard it was to protect the paint around the windsheild while the car is being shipped but i don't think that really makes sense
