Default What do you think

Hello all, I'm getting some paint work done on my 99 coupe and have a chance to change the color of the halo and tagra top and I've always liked the look of the black top with the dark tinted windows, what do you think about the look.

I really like the black halo as it just makes the roof look lower!

I like the look of the black top/halo, but I'm a bit biased too.

I like the blacked out halo on the car. Good choice.

Love the black halo. I've been thinking of doing mine in plasti dip just to see what it looks like flat.

I think it looks great, but ONLY on a coupe (not a z or FRC) and only with a high gloss along with really dark tint. The first coupe looks perfect.

Plastidip and matte just look terrible because the dark tinted windows are obviously very glossy, so it doesn't give the same "dark glass bubble" look.

I always thought it was a horrible oversight by the factory. Works well on all black cars.

My personal impression of the solid color cars with the ball black roof panel and bar is that it looks like an import ricer mod. Just my humble opinion
