Very pretty view. Top looks awesome, but agree a dark brown would have been stunning. Not hard to live with that tho. Cool.

I like it! The top compliments the car color. Well done! And by the way, the Sting Ray body is sexy!

I like it as is. Very classy, and will not absorb heat like a darker top, so cooler for you. Home run, IMO.....

Shoulda, woulda, couda, are you sure you would not be second guessing the darker top as well? It looks good, I like the color combo!
At least you did not drop the second story screen into the new top.

Probably because it appears to match the interior.

It's really beautiful and an amazing perspective from above. If you airbrush out the grey marks on the driveway you could sell the picture as a very cool poster.
I have no issue with the color of the top. Nice!

Very cool angle - I've always liked this one myself (not my car - but the same color combo):

I really like it, too. And love the photo. Care to share any from ground level? I'd guess the color of the top might be less bothersome to you when you aren't looking at such a large amount of it.

I should add that it looks as though you did a great job on the installation. Looks nice and smooth.
