    Black would be practical.

    I voted white. It will stand out and turn heads

    Black will absorb light and reflection. White will telegraph multiple bug deaths. When it arrives, strip the paint to match everything else properly. No regrets. A little bit of extra work now will pay huge dividends in the future.

    With a black top on it, I would not worry about the little bit more heat a visor would get you. so might as well go with black. My preference would be to trade it to someone else and leave the one you have now. lol

    I’d do black since stainless isn’t an option. Flows with the top of the sleeper

    I did a couple quick photoshop hack jobs to compare the two colors....

    To be honest I kinda like the look of the white better. A little contrast adds a tad of elegance.

    That does look pretty cool. Remember it's going to be a 14" reverse bowtie that's flat against the windshield

    If it is mounted away from the metal of the cab? Only the visor will warm. If anything it would keep the cab cooler as more air would be ducted over the top of the cab. Tho personally I wouldnt bother. There are some street lights here in Maine that a driver will not be able to see if and when there is a visor.
