[Tigers] hard top colors

[Paul R. Breuhan]

Robert,

I agree with the paint it your way opinion ...it's not like you are cutting a
sunroof hole in it or anything...paint can always be repainted!



I have a white car and flip and flop between white body color and black...but
then again someone cut a sunroof hole in my hardtop...so it will be a while
before paint is applied.



Paul
