Humm....
No option for pink huh...
You are going to get 40million opinions ya know???
So here is my... ah...er ...opinion, I like Blue my self. If you have an A/C then you don't have to worry about the TD getting to hot inside from a darker color.
Are you going to used the same graphics? OR a new one. If new, what are the colors??

See, I thought you were going to keep the white top...
Yellow is COOL! Lets see what others have to say.
What color is the tow? Can you coordinate with that? Do you want too?
So many options...I can see why you are

Maybe somebody can photoshop it and show you what the different colors would look like.
Post a pic (of your SSI) showing the top back with graphic and a side showing so somebody can grab it. I dont have a photo editor installed...yet... Or if you have one, then try it.

I'd go with white on the top and yellow sides. But that depends on your graphics.

White, with red sides, see now that i like. like a big huge dive flag going down the road. i could even put a white stripe down the side to actually make it look like a dive flag. thanks MJ, gave me something to think about.

Out of curiosity to the max

... Can you tell me how the nice photo or logo was created onto your tear? Are you the Artist who applied it or is it a large decal or stencil?
Looks like I,ll have a heap of space on my hatch also to have somthing real special done on ours...but I just dont have a clue yet what it should be.. or how to go about applying it.
Best regards

Heikki,
it is basically a sticker. i took my design to a printscreen shop in digital media and told them what size i wanted. three days later they called me and it was done. $40 US dollars. it was simple to apply. i cleaned the area, pealed the back off the sticker and put it on. started in a corner and worked my way out to have no air bubbles. if you can find or design something and put it in digital just about any screenprint shop shoudl be able to print it up in whatever size you want. i choose the shark because that is what i have tattooed on my back.
oh and no it was not my design. i found it on the internet somewhere.
