I'd just do it all BB, but the flat black wouldn't be bad, either.

Someone do a photoshop.

i am assuming you purchased the carbon top.....

with that said, i would leave it alone....

1. it is not that obvious a color difference in my opinion

2. if for some reason you need to sell it.... i would think it would be worth more unpainted...... i guess....

I would go all black or dark grey on the sides. But, I wouldn't do flat black. I have the underside of mine painted flat black and it seems to be tougher to take care of.

If the top is carbon fiber I would leave as is, but if it is just the fiberglass one, I would paint it all berlina.

I would do the flat black on the sides. The offset of finishes would make the top stand out nicely. Nice top, man.

you get it and it comes with everything

you have to build it though...assemble the moldings and mounts. its worth it though

You'll also want to be careful when mounting the mounts (if that makes sense). Improper alignment of the top will result in trunk contact with the hardtop or improper window operation at the full up position. The carbon mugen top is worth every penny. I regret to this day for selling mine, serial #30.

yeah i posted a thread on s2k about the trunk...

everyone told me to LEAVE IT ALONE. they said all i have to do is add to the stock bump stops with some from home depot.

i wish i could have gotten then CF one, but i just couldn't justify spending that amount of cash right now. i rather have bought a beater for the 6g's.
