    Looking for some feedback from others. I have a white 2015 Tacoma TRD Pro Double Cab. I am planning on getting the bed and roof rack combo from Dissent Off Road, as it will accommodate a softopper underneath. Since the racks will be black, I thought that a tan softopper might look best to take away from all of the white/black, as it might be a nice accent color. I think the tan might fend off fade better than black too. Anyways, before I pull the trigger I was just wondering if others like the idea of of tan over black softopper in this regard. Not a lot of pictures online with this combo from what I have seen. Thanks to anyone who can contribute to my vanity. :)

    I am black on black but my friend has a black topper on a white taco with black bumpers sliders and accents looks good. I have seen both black and the tan on a white taco and the tan looks fine but in my opinion the black looks better.
    I'll try and dig up a pic.

    Black will absorb heat, show more dirt, but moisture will evaporate quicker so molding shouldn't be a problem. Tan, less heat, won't show as much dirt, but moisture will evaporate slower thus a possible problem with molding.

    Black and white will look great and more commercial.
    Tan will still look good, be more unique and will give it that classic white/gold look.
    I would go tan personally. Wish I had the cash for one myself

    Ok, Chase8059's gray softopper looks pretty sharp as well. Perhaps I need a 3-sided coin :)
