Not sure I am feeling the roof yet. I have mixed feelings about it.

It just looks dumb with the sunroof still there. It's like "look at all this weight I'm saving by making my roof out of CF. Oh, nevermind that 100lb sunroof in the middle, I'm working on my tan."

bleh i dont care for it, for the pure fact of functionality. who wants a black roof, lets face it i live in florida and its hotter than hell down here. i mean thats the main reason why i went for silver, i wanted a light color... now if i was in jeresy that would be a different story but even still. think of how hot thats gotta be

Maybe at eye level it might be okay. But when the police helos are chasing this car ... definitely hard to miss.

I think it looks ok, but would look better with the trunk and maybe the hood painted as well. I've seen a lot of good looking two tone cars in the past.
