Default Painted or Black roof ?

Getting my roof replaced by GM because of the Bubbling issues. Currently the roof is blue and without T Tops. Trying to decide whether or not to ask the dealer to paint the roof black instead of NBM.

Thanks to a few board members for the photos to compare




This is the car as it sits with the blue roof




Anyone else have a pic / comment on the decision.

Black Roofs look 100x better than a matching color roof

Leave it as it is. I am not a fan at all of the black roof. It breaks up the flow of the car and not in a good way.

Good luck w/ whatever color you decide to go with but make sure is in black and white...I got mine painted a few months back, I wanted it red(same color as car) but they painted it black. I did get a good discount though.
