Default Roll Bar Going In This Weekend, Couple Options

Well I had a chance to pick up my roll bar while I was in Va last week, and brought it back down here and plan on putting it in this weekend. But there is a small problem, its a little beat up and I want to repaint it before I put it in my car. Now don't get me wrong, my car is in no way a show car and usually I am about funtion over fashion, but at the same time I dont like my car looking trashy and would like to have it remain a clean looking car. Just for the record I plan on taking full advantage of the cage and begin taking my car to the track once its all in and junk The way it stand now, it's white but I think that its a little to flashy so I was thinking about removing the paint and making it black so it matches the interior, and just add white padding or some bullshit like that. Or just repaint it white and leave the bling factor? What do you guys think?

Here are a few pics to help you guyz get a better picture.....




Standard HT "New Part Pose"

Thanks for looking!

EDIT: Well since the thread was brought back from like page 100 I might as well show you the bar installed.....

Lemme know what you guys think....still workin on makin the panels fit back in there and all that, so im sure I will post fully finished pics soon

I'd paint it black. Looks much less noticeable which is a good thing IMO.

Sand it a bit, primer it to prevent rusting and paint chipping, and shoot 2 coats of flat black BBQ paint.

Yeah, even though its inside the car you still want to be as carefull as possible to make sure it doesn't rust all the way through or create a weak point in the tubing.
