I have owned two Artic White Vettes, and it is one of my favorite colors on Vettes. I say leave it white.

I would definitely go black or if you have carbon fiber splitter, skirts etc then go with the carbon roof and halo, with some tinted windows. But go real carbon fiber, not that wrap.

Mine is arctic white with the sunroof and I'm planning on changing the halo to gloss black. My sons and I think it looks cool, my wife disagrees.
For a better idea of what it would look like in real life, I took a couple of black trash bags, unrolled them (but not unfolded, so they're about 8in wide) and covered up the halo with them. In your case you'd also have to cover the roof (or take if off). Look at the car in different lighting situations, squint your eyes a bit, etc.
No matter what you decide, either one looks good, just a matter of preference. I agree with going carbon fiber all the way if that's your choice.
