I don't know. It's small, but not THAT small. And whether with the roof up (black) or down (head rests, roll bars, hair, etc), there is enough going on in front of you that contrasts with the body color that you would think you would notice it more than say a small gray sedan.

Beyond that...

I was going to use my "My Miata got rear ended, but I'm not gonna fix it" money for some option packages on a Mustang.
