    Mazda offered the hard top as an after build option for someone purchasing a Miata and kept them black to keep manufacturing costs down. It had nothing to do with it matching the factory soft top color. What about the tan soft tops? It never came on the car as from the factory itself. It was a dealer offered option. <u>Do some more homework man</u>. As far as resale value, your right about the resale value being higher with color matched body parts. What do you suppose the reason for that is?

    It's painfully obvious that you have had your mind made up before you even made this thread and just want to accepted in everyone elses eyes and need further justifcation in making this decision. Man, just do what YOU like. There's no way I'm leaving a decision like that to anybody but myself.

    LOL, I don't think you get what im saying.... The car came with a SOFT stop that is black. I don;'t get what your saying about black hard tops from the factory. The hard tops were offered colormatched only. I was pointing out the fact that the car has a black soft top and it looks ok...

    no race car? becuz homeowner...

      If you do black, you should do the a-pillar and the piece above the windshield also.

          You didn't get what I was saying. I <u>also</u> said that they made a tan soft top for them. (even white cars had em). Paint the thing tan, black, pink, purple, little rainbows, a bunch of dicks, pictures of your ex gf on there. I could give two shits what you do. You wanted an opinion, and you got it (with sensible reasoning for the opinions). You seem to think you need to justify it further... you don't. Just leave it black for fuck sakes. It's what you want to do anyway. You'll be accepted just fine in your jellybean no matter what you do.

            Hell no!!

            That would look like complete ass if the top did come off for any reason down the road.

                  I should just paint it skin colored and do the border black. Then I'll wax the top up really nice and it would look like your head!
