Black top for a tan interior?

Post by kustom »

I'm thinking of replacing my tan top with a black top. The problem is I have a tan interior, and I'm not interested in changing the interior to black. What do you guys think... will a black top look strange with a tan interior?

The PO put a black top on my car right before I bought her. I think it looks pretty good. I have a tan boot to go over it when down, so the tan color matches.

It'll look fine.

Tan's cooler though.

Heat not style I mean.

The exterior color of my car is orange, but I'm thinking of painting it. I've been agonizing over paint colors for the past year. I've been leaning towards silver, but I've seen a nice Nissan 350z orange that would look great too.
