I have a 04 ssm TL. I just bought my vinyl from a member on azine. Its a pretty simple procedure but just takes a lot of time and patience. I'm lookin forward to it when its done. I got a whole piece of vinyl that covers the roof for $52 including shipping.

Thumbs up Update: Got my black roof done

I KNOW I STARTED THIS THREAD A YEAR AGO.I FINALLY GOT AROUND TO GET MY ROOF PAINTED.BUT RATHER LATE THAN NEVER. THE BODY SHOP DID SUCH A GREAT JOB AND MADE IT LOOK SO GLOSSY THAT EVERYONE THINKS ITS GLASS. I ONLY PAID $250, WHICH I BEALIEVE IS A GREAT PRICE. ONLY QUESTION IS WHAT PRODUCTS CAN I USE TO KEEP THE ROOF SHINY.

HERE ARE THE PICS, I HOPE YOU GUYS ENJOY THEM AS MUCH AS I AM ENJOYING DRIVING THE CAR

Thanks everyone..Im loving the car . It looks way better. Definitely makes the TL stand out amongst the rest.

Myron, I just bought the side skirts, last addition to the kit. I'm happy I got them, makes the kit stand out. I know lots of members here don't think its a big difference but after installing them I'm happy I bought them. I also got a good deal for the type-s spoiler if you decide on getting a trunk lip

Sorry to Resurrect this post from June, but I am currently on the market and have a found a white TL with very low mileage. The roof is black and it looks awesome. Are you guys saying this is not a factory option, and that the former owner of this car went through the trouble of having the roof blacked out?

Here's a picture of the car.

According to the douche bag sales rep it sold this morning for 31,900.00. I don't even think she had it in stock top be honest, more than likely a move to get my contact info so she can spam my ass with Auto base TL's. LOL

It looked awesome but way overpriced in my opinion. The hunt continues... ~sigh
