White would be fine, but what might be cool is if you tried to match the color of the flames. Curious, the top you bought in LA, is it double or single wall, and how much did you get it for. I've been looking/asking around like crazy for a good single wall, and haven't had any luck. Might just have to go with a double wall.

I think both options would look good. The white would definately stand out a lot more than the tan. What about matching the body color? Or Black?

Tan has my vote... I think it would look very classy with a tan top OR perhaps matching the flames like mentioned above.
Either way you have a winner...

I'm not a big fan of the top being anyother color than white, however with the new body color, and if you were going with tan seats I think it would look slick on your ride if you went tan on top. White may be too much of a contrast.

the top now is black, i got it for $350 and it is double wall, i went with this top cause even the hatch is in damn near for its age perfect condition,
i thought of matching the body color but then thought it would be to much color, but for some reason i want to go tan, i am thinking of having him paint half tan half white then putting it on and seeing what one looks the best i also know where there is a double wall in carson city nevada for 100 dollars if anybody needs one, i couldnt get pics of it tho so i went with the one that would send pictures |

That color is so different, I think I would paint it to match the truck. I feel white or tan may clash too much.

I will be painting my Blazer a color very similar to yours. I've been leaning towards black for my top. I think a black top would look sharp with that color...

One more vote for tan. Or match the flames, before doing white or black.
Going to be awsome, good luck.

If you post a clear side pic I'll photoshop a top on your ride in white, tan and body color to give you an idea of what it will look like.

I'll do one the same as body color and post it manyana, I'm getting tired and it may take a little while longer to do the body color one.

What would it look like if the top was the same color as the rest of the body?
