Black or tan or ??

I'm shopping for a new (stayfast orRobbins) cloth top and I can't decide what color would look good. The car gets used only on sunny days and the top is folded 90% of the time inside the garage.

It has charcoal 4th gen leathers and dark drey panels if that makes a difference.

I would say tan if there was ore tan on your car- i.e seats. So black is my vote

I have tan and I'm not really a fan of it. With the grey/black interior it had in it it really looked out of place. Fits a little better now with the red interior but still just doesnt quite look right. I'll be going black when I get to the exterior.

I have looked at a lot of GTA convertibles and the only cars that seemed to have gotten the Tan top were the tan/brown interior cars.

However, the Blue cars could have gotten a Blue top (never seen a Camaro with a Blue top) BUT everything else got Black...

Black hands down best looking choice for your car.

Tan can work well for green or blue cars otherwise I'm not a tan fan.
