Default Black Roof? Or Maroon Roof?

Ok so most of you guys know my car had a fender bender about a week ago. A friend of mine and I are replacing the parts, and he's going to paint my car for me free of charge because he owes me for parts I've given him. All I have to do is buy paint. He's been painting cars for 6 years and all of his work looks incredible! This will include body work.. Anyways, my question to you guys is this:

Black roof like the z28s have, or keep it a maroon roof?

I've already decided that the car is getting sprayed maroon and going to have black hockey stripes. So what's your vote? Also it'll have black mirrors and black door handles, black headlight buckets and black grill like it is now. Let me know what you guys think!

What about the sail panel? that staying maroon? If you do the roof black it might be better looking with a black sail panel too

Actually if you wanna be a smart a$$, it's Medium Patriot Red. Color code 9913... More popularly known as maroon, burgundy, dark red, etc...

I like the black roof too, FD!

Black roof. I had my C-pillar painted black and don't regret it at all. It gives the car a much cleaner look.
