    Body. There aren't really any other black parts on the body of the car to match the random black roof rails, which makes them look awkward when they're black.

    Roof rails should always be the color of your fascia.

    I agree with roca, match to fascias, black looks great on lighter more contrasting colors. White, silvers, look amazing

    I thought your car was black.
    Secondly, on all the cars they came on EXCEPT the 2002 Anniversary, they were back.

    body color is boring to the max.

    if you want to look like you dont have roof rails, paint them body color.

    So then I take it you've also painted the side moldings, rocker moldings, etc. on your car a contrasting color too since you don't want it to look like your car didn't come with those either? Contrast doesn't work very well when there's really no contrast anywhere else on the car. As chunky suggested, it just makes it look like you haven't gotten them painted yet.

    Ummm......so by "black or body color".....you must be asking if you should make them gloss black, or primered black.

    actually they looked pretty great on my dark green car with dark tint, tinted tails, and black housing headlight.

    anyone that paints the other body pieces you mentioned another color than the car is stupid. straight up dumbtarded.
