Default DASS ROLLBAR IN A ALL BLACK RS

I INSTALING A DASS ROLLBAR IN MY TRIPLE BLACK RS
I CAN T DECIDE WHAT COLOR TO PAINT IT (POWDER COAT)
MY FIRTS IDEA WAS WHITE OR BLACK OR MAYBE RED(FOR CALIPER MATCH)
SINCE THE CAR IS ALL BLACK(NO ORANGE AT ALL) I THINK WHITE CAN BE TRICK...

Sounds like it might look good.

Definitely will have contrast!

since the car has no orange, orange is out of the question.

white roll cages look great in gutted white cars. (think body in white cup car. I really wanted a white RS with white roll cage to do the same.)

i would say black or satin black for your application tastefully.

Red is tempting to match calipers but would be better suited on a black RS with red script.

Hey Norm, I would do red before white. The only reason I would do white, was if you had all other accent in white, like you had in your avatar a while ago.

That's what happens when you go with the sinister look, all other accent must be black.... even rollbar!!

Ok now I'm gonna have to slap some sense into you next time I see you.....

After some more thoughts, I think red will stick out like soar thumb and will look like ''hey look at me, I have a red rollbar in my car!!''. Either go with satin black if you're going to leave the car all black or white with all the other white accents.

I do most of the rollbars for my customers in a black Krincle finish. It gives some depth to the black, so that it stands out even in a black interior.

I'm having a DAS rollbar installed in my white RS. I went with satin black.

a black RS even with white accents should still stick to a black bar.

the white and red combo would look too much like a candy cane.

basic rule of thumb is that the bar should either match the body color or the wheel color of a RS.

if you run white accents AND white wheels... then yes, white would be an option (if you want that?)

black. And please turn CAPS LOCK off, unless you actually mean to yell at us.

couple of examples that could pull off either a white or red roll bar:
