Default Need Help: What color cage?

So I snagged a mk2 RS. It's white with red accents. So my question is what color cage? I am down to 2 choices.. satin black or red. Any fellow RL'ers have one of these color cages in their white/red RS and can share photos to help me decide?

Thank you!

Personally I like black since it does not reflect sunlight and blend in well with your black interior. Cup has white cage cause everything else is white

I say spice it up and get red. If you hate it you can change it but I think it will look sweet!

Red cage.

But, if you swap out the red wheels and decals, then White all day long. (like a cup car)

Body color gives the appearance of the cage being part of the car and not an accessory.

Black, I think a red bar is too much (unless on a red car) on your car. White would be second choice.

White like cup car in white car.
That's OEM CS color in White cars from Porsche, except they did red in 3.8RS.

I will do white in 4.0. I think.

All non white cars should be black and a close second choice in white cars is still black.
