id say black because when people look at the car they will most likely see the bar next to the paint if its tan it will stick out in a weird way.

I'd say screw the styling bar, and get a real roll bar. Cost is almost the same, and you not only get real rollover protection, but some added chassis stiffness. Plus, then you can paint it whatever color you want.

I would go black, If you want to mod your car for down tubes/plan on taking car to track(faster than 13.49) then a rollbar would be better, if not stick with the styling bar imo

My wife's 98 saleen speedsxter has the black/tan interior. The exterior is a metalic green. The light bar is black and looks great. I agree that a tan bar would look odd against the black paint.

Black car + black leather = black roll bar. You may like tan at first, but down the road I am sure you will change your mind. And $400 is a big oops.
