my C4 Collector Edition car is Sebring Silver Metallic and I painted the roof bar gloss black to match my (dark blue) clear top and now the car looks like the 88 car-the 35th anniversary edition(an all whitel car with the black painted roof barand dark, clear top. Looks rather cool, I think, really streamlined. Go for it plus it won't let in as much heat as the actual clear tops.

If you like the look of the glass top better, just get a glass top and you'll avoid the delam issues.

While you 're at it, paint the whole top black. Im talking about the pilar too. That will make it look better IMO.
just get a glass top

Saw one done like that on the Skyline Drive Cruise a few months ago. Looked nice and I couldn't tell that it wasn't a transparent top until the owner showed me. I'd sooner have the transparent top with a liner if needed.
