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,

If you're going to walk on thin ice you might as well dance.

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

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'm not much for quotes - tell me what you know...

That was pretty conclusive! Looks like Tank color

I say:

1) Tank color.

or

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