Default ceta the canopy on my formula

I keep seeing camaros with black canopies and then noticed the ceta had a black canopy. How do you think it would look with my nbm formula with black mirrors and canopy. Any pics of it done feel free to linsert. My pictures are in my link. In the next month after my firehawk hood is installed I was going to have the paint wetsanded and the scratches touched up but might add this mod to the list as a subtle difference. Also since those pics were taken I have debadged it and taken the sidemolding off and added clear sidemarkers.

Just my opinion but, I don't think it looks right. I like the body color going over the top. Save the money for other things. That being said....as always....do what YOU want.

hmmm... this should be an interesting photo shop. i deffinitly think the black top can look awsome on some colors, but NBM im not sure. i think i actually might have a pic of a NBM camaro like that, i gotta look.

lol, alittle off topic, but wow, i didnt realize there were so many people here w/ NBM formulas. well, 3 might not be alot, but, guess i just never thought about it before.

i found it.... not the best picture or angle for what we want, but, you get the idea.



i think that camaro looks great, but, it does kinda have a whole them going on with the wheels and top and stuff. im not sure how it would look if you just slapped it on a car w/o having other things along the same lines.

I have that and I hate it. It will be getting painted NBM. When you see it clean and in the sun the NBM looks awsome but the black on top ruins it IMO.

I think it will look good, but then you'll need to put black wheels on it to match.

I say do it. I love the look of the black roofs on F-bodies. I dont like when they match the body color. It just doesn't look as good.

Put up some deep tint and it looks as hell no matter what Fbody its on.

The tint is what really makes it look the best IMO. The wheels, and other things are secondary.
