Well, I have a SnugTop fibreglass top, and I don't think you would want 
to paint it to match, since it has a molded-in "leather grain" pattern, 
so it pretty much has to be black (or white for lowriders). I don't think 
they are currently available anyway, though they are fairly common used. 
I personally think the factory style is better looking, but again, I 
don't know if it is currently available.
