I like a vinyl roof but what color do I choose, white or black...

My HCS is soooooooo red, red exterior red interior. Many of you will advise me: don't do it but I know the risk of rust and the way it looks now does irritate me too red.
It needs new paint but that candy apple red is no gonna be changed. (It is easy with a black interior) and another thing it has white stripes.
:confused:

I also believe a vinyl top improves appearance. I added it to one of mine several years ago. (Meadowlark Yellow with a Black interior) And I also had a Highland Green with a White vinyl top with White striping.Not too worried about rust if you're installing it over a good painted surface, as these cars do not get exposed to inclement weather anymore.
On your car, I think Black top with a Black striping or White top with White striping would look great.

+1 on white with the white stripes. Unless you change them black (which looks better IMHO) a black top with white stripes may look odd...

Maybe someone can photoshop up some views...

Thanks for the input
I think I go for a white because of the white stripes.

black or white...both are looking great but I don't have a matching interior thats why I take my stripes as a reference.
