Default What color vert top ?

Plz comment on what color vert top you would get with machine silver with Ti interior. I am thinking blue, black or tan. Cant decide. I am going to upgrade my top soon.

Any thoughts on this? thnx

BLACK, remember your going to have to sell that car down the road, those rarer tops are rare for a reason, nobody wants them.

Black would be my choice. Tan get's dirty quickly although it looks very nice. Tan wouldn't really go with your exterior or interior either. Blue would be a very subjective color. I had a VY vert w/ black top and it looked brand new until the day I sold it.

I would (and did) go with the black as it shows much less dirt along with looking great.

Ouch

I would get black because of your exterior color.

I happen to be the owner of one of those "rare" tops nobody wants...

We have a White vert with a cashmere interior and a blue top being built this week which I think will be sweet.

Silver with titanium would look real good with that same blue. Black is the safest but a gray top is a good look (triple silver).

With your car color. I have a BLACK Vert with a Cashmere top and a Two/Tone Black/Cashmere interior. That works for me.

Come on, you can't disagree with me, it is true, I know you know that. I am not saying this to be mean, I am telling the op the truth, sometimes the truth hurts.

Yes I really like the blue and am not to concerned about resale.

I have the gray so it would be nice to swap into a different color.

Yes black is the safe bet.

Black. All colors look great at first. Black is easier to keep looking good longer. JMHO!

I wouldn't do it, but it works well with white, black, SS blue, or the reds with a matching tan interior.
