Black top and nacelles makes it look like a coupe.

Huh??? That makes no sense as the coupe does not have a Carbon Flash or black roof, a-pillars, or anything else like an HTC with Carbon Flash roof and nacelles. There are folks out there with coupes that do add a wrap so they have the same look at the HTC with Carbon Flash roof and nacelles.

Same, and it’s how my HTC is optioned but GM should have done the paint correctly with clear over the transition.

My 2022 HTC ELB was body matched. I liked it.

My 2023 WPM has carbon flashed. I also like a lot.

IMO one is not better than the other. To an extent it depends on the body color but other than that it’s all personal preference.

I like the black roof on the white. I left my mirrors at body color, I did not want the black spoiler.

I think body color makes it look like a couple more than black top/nacelles. The black nacelles allows you to see the details of the HTC, which makes the HTC stand out.
