The white will clash with the seat inserts being that it appears much brighter than them.
So I will vote for black.

Quick points on the black.
So I am guessing this will be more of a show truck than driver as far as darkness goes and that what interior lights is for, on top of the fact that these Burbs are glass houses on the road so the black would be better especially with the other bright and funny looking blue headlights from other cars shining in there if you do drive at night.
As far as coffin feeling the red window post pretty much break up the black, now if the headliner was to match the seat inserts then yes that white.
This ride has a lot of white already and although it will look good white, I don't think the white would look uniform and finished off as the black.

Man you probably shouldn't have asked us, this is a tough one and honestly anyway you go on this it would be nice.
I appreciate everyone's input! Here's what I decided to do. I'm going to go with white and if it ends up being to bright I will try to figure out a way to paint it black or cover it. I looked at Lowes for the FRP and I found 2 different colors of white. One was a really bright white and shiny and the other one was kinda an egg-shell color and satin. I'm going to use the egg-shell/satin one. I think it looks pretty close to the stock color of the factory headliner (could be wrong ) I've attached pictures of both, but I don't know if you will be able to tell the difference (first one is satin, second one is shiny). Also, I finished all of my FatMat so I threw the carpet in just to see how everything looks.
