Default Black or silver roll bar

I have a silver 2002 camaro that I just installed a wolfe rollbar in. I cannot decide if I want to paint it black to match the ebony interior, or silver to match the car. Just looking for some more opinions, a couple pics below of the two colors I am looking at. (both have a single coat of clear)

IF you plan on driving this on the street in Joyzee, I would go with the black, as it will jump out/stand out much less to the LEOs looking to stop/bust you on ANYTHING they can.

Are even bars (let alone full cages) street legal in the Garden State, and if not, how will you pass inspection ('know someone', etc.)??

I've already started to paint the rollbar silver lol. I believe a rollbar is legal as long as it does not interfere with vision. (so a roll cage would be illegal). The shop around me is willing to look the other way as long as the car passes the OBDII test.

I would do black as well. which will be one of my next projects on my build. this way you kinda have to look hard to be able to see that I have a roll bar installed. at night time you probably wouldn't even be able to tell. which is how I like it.. just my 02
