Which Sail Panel Color? Normally I would not ask for opinions about what to do to my car because, well, it's my car and I'll do what I want with it! 
That being said, I am dead even at 50/50 on whether to paint my newly acquired sail panel white or black. Since I have absolutely no bias either way, what do y'all think?

Thanks for the feedback, guys! I should mention I had pulled a panel from a 95 in the junkyard and had it painted white in preparation to install, but I got it back and they had just painted over the rattle can that was already on the panel. 
It's still in the attic, maybe I'll pull it out and put it on to see what it would look like, then post up some pictures.

I would say keep it black. It just keeps things clean and cohesive. I feel if you put the white panel on it would break up the contrast a little to much. The black kind of blends in with the glass and the rest of the top side of the car and keeps a nice contrast line that breaks along all the weatherstripping around the top side. Maybe plastidip it white first and see how you feel.

Verdad Gallardo Ya, I think this one is going to be all up to you. I actually don't have a strong opinion of either one now and I think the white sail panel works because your a T-top car. Either way looks great to me.
Also awesome looking bike.

I feel the way these cars are designed with a lot of glass and for the most part tinted, it should be black. Body color over the top screws with the flow of color. Blocky looking maybe? The white and black look awesome to me. If staying with the stripes, gotta go body color. Just a friendly opinion.

While it may appear the pole is currently 4:5:1 White:Black:Other, the wife voted white last night. Therefore, the current tally is 6:5:1, lol... thanks for the feedback, guys! I'll keep watching to see how this goes.
I love the idea of white. But if it ends up in a landslide black, I'll paint it black and sleep on the couch.

White, the black doesn't go well with your blue stripes IMO. As suggested above, continue the stripes through the sail panel. That will look great.
I've also learned that if I do something to the car and consider the wife's opinion, it goes A WHOLE BETTER when the money leaves the bank

Also, in the case of OP's car he's going with a white/blue theme, and black looks out of place to me IMO.
