Black roof on a TW 2G?

How do you think this would look?

I've been wanting to repaint my roof over the summer because the paint is starting to fade on the top.

I haven't seen this on any other 2G TLs

This LS kinda got me thinkin about doin it.

Problem is to make it really look right our windows dont line up right with the roof line to look right. It has been done (if you do a quick search you will find pics)

You need alot of black accents to make it look right and even then it still wouldn't look right.

Dont do it.

The only thing I would do as far a black accents are tint and visors. I'll try and chop up a pic when I get home to get a better idea. thanks for all the input.

i don't think it looks all that bad. Then again, the black might stand out more with white paint. So idk, I guess I have the summer to think it over. lol

nah, i actually loved the way it looked. it originally was meant to cover up the paint that was fading on the roof but after a while i really grew to like it.

some here liked it, some didnt... who cares.

i did have lots of black/dark accents to help complete the look though.
