Opinions Really Appreciated

I have an 01 Boxster S with manual tranny. Arctic Silver with black soft top. My rear window is caput. I am weighing having a

new window sewn in OR purchasing a hardtop. I've seen the silver on silver look. I have never ever seen an arctic silver with

a BLACK hardtop. Now is that cuz its a very bad idea ? Or has nobody thought of it ? I'm intrigued by it. I may do some Photoshops

of what it would look like. I'm asking all of you kind Boxster Owner's if: A. has anyone seen such a beast ? B. If you can picture it,

how do you think what I'm describing would look ? and C. If ANYONE has one of these (Arctic Silver, Black hardtop), could you post

photos of it ? Would be greatly appreciated.

I saw one up close a few years back; like the photoshop'd pic at this link http://www.porscheclubgbforum.com/tm.asp?m=499815 , I think it would look better in satin or matt finish.

From a resale perspective, I've got to believe that a fixed ragtop would fare better than a broken one, with a hardtop...additionally, I found my former Boxster far too noisy (engine noise) with the top up.

Seen one, looked fine. Also seen them in used car ads. Considering the car's tops are commonly black, why would it look odd? If I had one, I wouldn't paint it. Now if it was yellow or red I would. Even seen white.

with some black rims, would look cool.

I have a black hardtop on mine, looks better than silver in my opinion. It totally transforms the car. :thumbup:

My opinion is that cars with non-matching hardtops looked pieced together, you may as well toss a black door on one side too.

Black works a little better, I definitely agree with the sentiment that any other color would look absolutely dreadful.

That looks cool

I would black out the spoiler or carbon fiber it and that will complete the look...

oh yeah and as mentioned above I would blackout the wheels :P

I'm in desperate need of a wheel refurb, and I think I will do them black. I think everyones taste will differ though, to be honest. Thing is, as long as the driver of the car is happy then who cares? And a bit of originality never hurts! Theres not many boxsters in my club regions that look like mine! :jump:
