        I would stay with the lighter colors. The problem with PC is that it tends to fade because there isn't much UV protectant in the paint and no clear coat.
        Also, when you PC the windshield, it's a BEOTCH to get it back together because of the thickness of the PC on the inside edges. It's a pretty snug fit on the back edges of the frame. If you could somehow prevent PCing the inside edge with temp masking tape and not see the edge, that would be best for reassembly. Use plenty of soapy water to get the rubber gasket back together and DO NOT BREAK the glass. CC will bend you over and not provide any vaseline.

          Haha, thanks a lot guys. It looks like I am going to make the bottom legs match the upper part of the tower. Its the most affordable and easiest to do. Still need to decide if I am going to paint the windshield.

            A clean single bead of electrical tape may solve your windshield woes. Covers up the scratches and offers protection from getting more.

                black or navy tower, keep it simple. The white/white and gray/gray don't look like they belong.

                  I like the blue accent with striping for both the tower and windshield. You have alot of white on the boat. The blue looks badass. Ties it altogether.

                  I have a SAN 210 white hull, black/red stripe, black FCT
