I've been thinking about this for a while. I'm in the same boat as you (NBM). I think I'm going to end up going with black, and grey harness's.

The black will match your wheels.

There was a guy on here who had a tan leather interior and actually had tan leather wrapping made to cover the cage. It almost looked like a factory cage, it was really nice. Maybe he'll chime in. Otherwise, just go black paint..

Black if you want it kinda hidden. Any other brighter color if you want it to be seen.

That's a Wolfe cage.

I think that if your car was white / red / yellow etc., a body color paint would look cool...but with NBM, it won't stand out...it will look black, and just end up not matching.

Just stick with black

Nice choice. My friend just swapped ebony interior into his hugger Z & painted the cage semi-gloss black from hugger & it looks 100% nicer.
