Default Your opinion on an aesthetic decision?

I have a black 2003 xkr convertible with dove grey interior. I am looking to fit a soft tonneau cover on the car.

What do you think would look better?

A dove grey cover to match the interior, or a black cover to match the paint
and add some sleekness to the car with the top down?

Thanks for the feedback. Ed.

I know that there were some photoshop guys on here that could probably give you a view of each.

Without having the benefit of that, I am thinking that it depends upon whether or not you are going for a more sleek (black) look, or a more contrasting, eye catching look (grey).

Either would probably look good. I think that usually the cover is the color of the interior. (at least mine is)
