I've been looking for a hard top for my LJ for quite a while. I see one not even very close to me but in great shape in grey. I'm looking for black. This one seems to be in a color I have not seen before.
 
Why is a white hardtop not an option unless the Jeep came from the factory painted white with color matching white fender flares? Didn't CJ's back in the day come with white hardtops while they had black fender flares and bumpers? Since white is a neutral color would a white hardtop really look that bad on a Jeep regardless of what color it is painted? Must be the fact that these days most people prefer black so the demand for white hardtops is too low for production.?
