Default NBM vert top color?
The car is currently NBM with a neutral top/interior....the car needs a new top, so the question is....how do you think it would look with a navy blue top??? Anybody seen this before? Any pics?

Thanks for your input!

I've wondered the same thing. Mine is currently the same color as yours. I'm not ready for a new top yet, but may consider navy when the time comes. I was thinking that it may not show dirt and stains as much.

If you go that route, post a pic.

The blue is nice, but I don't think it's nice when a top matches the exterior of a car. I've always loved NBM's with Black, but you have a Taupe interior like me.

I saw a NBM WS6 at a dealer a few years ago with the dark blue top and black leather I loved it. I want to swap my black top to a blue one but dam thats alot of work for something that dosent need to be done yet.

I was thinking of going this route as well but decided black. The shop I had my top put on had about 20 different colors to choose from including navy blue....

There is a car roaming around Cape Coral/Ft. Myers, Florida that is identical to this. I think its a girl that works at an ice cream stand. Love the look of that car.

stay with the tan top. sets it apart and looks great with the neutral interior.
Mine is also NBM with tan top. Lots of favorable comments on it.

the hartz cloth top material in 20 different colors. They do alot of street rods/customs there. Their was an old purple street rod there and they were putting a purple conv top on it while I was there. I believe the custom colors were $100-200 more

In my opinion they shouldn't even make vert tops that arent black. White and tan tops look horrible. Go with black.
