Would you?

As you see i own a SOM Ws6. I will be tackeling the vht night shade tail lights/sidemarkers, and ceta rear bumper soon. I was also contemplating painting the top of my car black.(Like the Anniversary Ta's)
What do you guys think?

I say go for it. Be different. Clearly it's going to go with your black theme.

I'd say do it just for the fact that it will look just different.

At least it isn't a drastic difference either. Just enough to set yours apart from the other SOM T/A parked next to you. It's like window tint: subtle, tasteful, and powerful if done right!

I think the SOM with black is a good idea. I say go for it, make sure you have dark tint. I think it would really set off the orange...

Post a pic of your car, someone can photoshop it for you (I could try, I'm an amateur photochopper but can do some stuff).

I was thinking about it on my car (although it's white), but ultimately decided against it.. atleast for now. I like having that bar going across to break up the black, rather than having it look like a bubble on the top of the car.

like the idea since you have black wheels to match, but not painting the top. just the nightshade and ceta.
