Default Roofrail color

Some of you may know I found some roofrails. What color should I go with?
I just don't want to waste them and paint them car color and not see them as well as other colors but open to options.Black, Galaxy silver or body color.

Well I just voted silver in my own poll, Hunter wants me to do them silver so that is his vote. I just got tired of viewing poll results and voted for him. Explain your votes if you will. I do have the rally stripes on the roof too.

Same here

I was thinking Silver would be too much on mine especially since I'm considering some silver on the hood, but in you're case I think it would look great IMO???? but IDK yet lol... Just realized that your stripes might make it a bit much for all that silver on the roof..

hmmm... I almost wish mine were silver just because they only stand out from certain angles being body color but that's to most people. Forum members of course know what to look for

I say body color or silver for sure.

I would suggest silver if it was a dale Sr tribute car, but it is not. Silver will detract from the racing stripes. I don't think silver would look good at all.

The body color would be fine if you want them to blend in and not be noticed at all. But what would be the point in that?

They gotta be black! Look at all the trim on you car's exterior. Around the glass. The mirrors. The grill. The license plate frame. They are trim and they are black. If you don't paint those rails black its gonna look clowny and busy. Your car already has many "eye poppin'" features.

I am strongly opinionated obviously! But its cuz I really like your car (and roof rails) and I don't want you to ruin it Jerry!

Its too stressful for me letting others have nice cars! I got no control! Everybody - give your nice cars to me!
