Color matched Convertible Top

Has anyone ever seen a third gen with a top that was color matched? Got any pics? Maybe someone could photoshop this onto one of the nice verts on the board. I have seen some really nice european cars that come with factory tops that are a near perfect match to the body paint and they were beautiful.

i was talking to a guy a while back that said he had a green bird like mine that had a green top. i didn't think that would look good, but never saw any pics of the car so i don't really know. and i can't remember which board i was talking to him on

What I'm talking about is a dark car, probably blue or green, with a top that is the same color as the car. To get an idea of what I'm talking about, a black car with a black top is a perfect example.
I don't think this would work too well on some of the lighter colors, but then again they make white convertibles with white tops. They are probably a pain to keep clean though.

I was mainly wondering if anyone had seen this done on a third gen. It is done to a lot of european cars, mustangs, and whatever, but I have never seen it done to a thirdgen before. I think it would look killer if done right and be very distinctive.

I almost bought a metallic blue 89 325i bmw when I lived in Germany. It had a dark blue top and that car blew me away when I saw it. Like I said, maybe some of the photoshop geniuses could give this a try?
