Agreed. If it were pretty much any other color I'd say paint it black, but with that shade of blue it looks great as-is

leave as is.... unless you have a lighter colored car, like white, pewter, or silver or even red, it usually looks better with the color matched c-pillar.

After seeing the PS someone posted, I think you should leave it. That is a color you dont see very often. With the tinted windows, it looks great the way it is.

I like the second one better, but the blue isn't that bad. Lighter colored cars look stupid without black roof, though.

mirrors and roof to black. JonCR96Z, see if you can get the mirrors black. You did a good job on the roof.

Do yourself a favor if you go the berger route and paint a spare panel.

And my vote is to leave the sail panel blue.
