Paint my top yellow, or leave it black. Opinions wanted.

[AndyMac]

I've got the gen 2 doors on my 95 now, and I had to modify my top to make the windows work. I will have to paint the top anyway, so should I make it yellow or leave it black. I'm really leaning towards leaving it black.

With the black sidepipes and rubber I say BLACK. You could make the scoop yellow!

It depends, on wether you want it to look like a Roadster or a Coupe.

Black = Roadster
Yellow = Coupe

If it were me, I'd leave it Black. Nice choice in tops, no after thought look.

Either color works with the trunktop. I'd go with black myself.

 

[Mopar Boy]

I like black, but almost too much of it. Maybe a bit of yellow accents classing done woul be good.

 

[Mopar Steve]

The top should be yellow to match the car.

The top should be yellow to match the car.

+1. To me, it looks better w/the matching yellow top. The black top just doesn't look like its meant to be on a yellow car, IMO

I'd tend to agree but with the black side pipes i think the black top pulls it off. Sorta like the Rug Matching The Curtains so to speak.

Looks like the Mach7 three piece top... nice.

Outside pieces yellow, Center piece black to pull out the side pipes... oh yeah!

I like the look of the black top...it is very subtle and makes the RT/10 look very low. IMO, a yellow top makes the car look a lot taller.

Car looks great!

 

[Timnineside]

I like it in yellow. The black doesn't look as bad as I would think, but yellow all the way.

 

[mach4444]

Looks good either way, but I say Black.

 

[scottmcc]

Go yellow top then put black stripes front to back..

Close Jon, I think it looks more uniform with the yellow top ( & accent it with a black scoop) JMO!

 

[runin1320]

Without the pictures I would have said yellow. After reviewing them both....ONE MORE VOTE FOR BLACK.

 

[Canuck]

Here are some (albeit quickly sketched) mockups of full yellow and yellow/black roofs.

All 3 have merits. My only bias is that the glossy black top surface on bright car to me brings to mind the tinted T-tops of late 70s/early 80s era Corvettes. Personally wasn't really a fan of that look, but it is all a matter of preference.

I kinda like the black center band. Maybe if the scoop trim or center (like where the air would be ingested) also had a splash of yellow, that could complete is. Like a 1" wide strip. Nothing more.

 

[JohnnyViper]

i like the black and you would be a little unique

 

[SlayerLS1]

Keep it black. It makes the car look like it has its top off, which is good considering RT/10's don't look good with a top on.

 

[SCSViper]

I like it black.

 

[SNKEBIT]

Paint the car black......

 

[aviatorone]

I agree, paint it black. : )

I like the black top. That view with the black top looks good. What about from the rear? Does it look complete?

 

[DrumrBoy]

Either works, I'd vote for yellow.....very clean look.

 

[Mopar Boy]

What if it was a semi gloss/ satin finish..... to match the side sills, trime, etc and have no reflection....

Hmmm.

That was my reasoning behind say paint it yellow. The black look reminded me of my dad's C4 Corvette top.

Thats what I liked about it!! At first glance, I didn't see the 70/80 era Vette... thats a good thing!

Nothing looks sillier than the factory hardtop on the RT/10. The 3-panel top has a very sleek look to it and the scoop (is your scoop functional?) looks great.

 

[DarcShadow]

I like the look of the black.

 

[VYPR BYT 94]

I'm sticking with my original post... sides yellow... center piece black to match pipes!

That nice photoshop pic by Canuck verifies it.

Someone mentioned earlier using flat black like the pipes, good idea as well.

Quite the historic and perhaps even a Freudian moment, with Chad telling a guy his car would look better in uh, er, um

ALL YELLOW !!!!!
