How many of you have a Black top on a car of a different color? (or even ANY non-matching colored top?)
Black doesn't clash, so it can't look too bad...
Snappics?

would probably look similar to using the glass roof. Now if I could find a CF one I'd be in business

I'd guess it would look the same as a car with the transparent top...

I agree it would look like the tinted top. Kevin I bought mine from American Hydrocarbon however its real hydrocarbon

I had no idea.. I know I was like the 2nd guy to buy one. Came with new seals and the process was done on a OEM top. I had mine done outright with their top as I wasnt about to ship my top to them. Very Happy with it.
Hmm Kevin Id email Pat I cant see anything in this thread that says hes not doing them any more. Ive had mine for a year now.

Why not try one of those nifty 3M wraps? They come in all colors and CF also. If you don't like it, pull it off.

If I could find a second transparent top I'd consider that, but then I'd have to deal with the extra flex...though I do have the frame stiffeners to instal.... it never ends

Chuck - I believe if I were considering a black top on another colored car I'd likely consider coloring the "halo", belt to belt and the CHMSL black also. There's a distinct seam at the base each side and I believe it would look very good. I actually considered this in '03 when mine was painted. The painter already had color on some of the parts when I mentioned it and one of the parts already colored was the top.

I've been on the hunt for a black fiberglass top. Don't much care for the clear one.
