So I've been debating this for about 3 months and really can't come up with an answer to what would look best.

Options are:
1. Current Gray color
2. Tank Color
3. Carbon Fiber

My tweaked 2002 S4

tank color......
I always think the monster looks better with the tank color on the cowl, ties the whole bike color scheme together, IMO a black or carbon cowl looks like the plain seat with no cowl...unless you have some stripes on it.

just my opinion,

Tank. Maybe you should make this a poll. Don't forget to include boobies as an option..  waytogo

Tank color would unify the look. Is your fairing/flyscreen the same color as the tank or is it gray like the cowl?

tank color. 

Alternatively, you could do the main cowl as a tank color and leave the grey as number plates.   I have similar colors and did a two-tone cowl (sorry for the crappy pic), though not with full number plates.

I say:

1) Tank color.

or

2) If that tank color is close to black/dark grey, you can get away with carbon.
