my friend has a shop that custom makes tops... hes done them for a bunch of cars before and the fit is like its from the factory... so no one is with the grey top idea?

i was thinking of having the top a bit darker than the body color... anybody seen pix of stuff like this before?

I don't know. Gray sounds good to me. You should try to photoshop a picture.

How custom can he go? This is probably over the edge, but can you also get the orange stripes on it?
