Should i paint my roof or black out the A-pillars???

-c- · 06-10-2012, 11:19 PM

im stuck in the middle and would like the members ideas on what would look best, im stuck with either painting the roof body color or maybe painting the A-pillars black, maybe even the mirror caps but that may be to much. what are your thoughts???

the new 09 and abouve Z4 has black A pillars and i think it looks pretty good but it has body colored roof, will it look to bubble top it i paint the pillars?

ohhhh the choices!

A pillars

and mirrors

silver top black A pillars

black mirrors with black a pillar

all silver.

I say, paint the roof. It will look simple and clean if it's all one color.

I have a friend who has a silver roadster with a color matched hardtop, I agree with Rated M. You can also photoshop the pillars black to see what the car looks like with the top off.

Paint the hard top - I think black pillars might look silly when the hard top is off

Im a fan of all silver. Looks more high end

Actually, the silver roof with black pillars is interesting. That's what the E89 Z4 has:

ZStig · 06-11-2012, 10:43 PM

I vote silver top
Silver mirrors
Black pillar

And you should just plasti dip it. One can of black and gloss should be perfect I plan on doing my pillars next week
