I like mine. I think it makes the car more appealing to look at

I've seen some painted to match from the factory. I think they did it on the earlier V6 models if I'm not mistaken. I didnt like it at all. I prefer the black

It's not a V6 thing, I had one before and it was black. I can't recall ever seeing one painted that way. If you see one that's body color, it was probably repainted with the car. Only thing, the T-tops won't blend as well on top.
On a side note, that sail panel would also be a good place to stick an SS emblem!

Mine is painted the body color. I personally like it, but I do think it depends on the color. Mine is the pewter silver and I just think a black band would look awful on it.
