My '02 S top's original and grey, and the car's lapis - a beautiful combo. It probably looked stunning when new, but after a few years of exposure to acid rain and air pollution it's not looking great. It also readily shows smudges on the sides from stowage. No amount of cleaning makes a big difference at a certain point.

In light of the fact that air quality's not great in Bakersfield, black would be a far more practical choice. I know my next top will be black. If you car's a garage queen or you expect to move on to something else before the top starts looking lousy, then go with grey. It is a nice contract to Arena Red.
