I think the roof/front grill combo looks great. Wait till you get tints-it makes a hell of a difference. And with the tints on your tail, do the rear logo in black too-it will tie-in the look.

On a serious note, it looks great. Gotta love how a black roof enhances our cars look (besides on a NBP). Once you get the windows tinted it'll look even better.

Well I'm not a big fan of silver so I had to break up all the silver so works perfect for me...loving how its turning out...yeah the roof will always be the best part of the blackness besides myself (not that dark though) lol

yeah man go for it, vinyl will work too, I only gotta it painted cuz I gotta done for free, so only reason I chose to paint it, otherwise I would have gone vinyl, although I love how it shines like glass when clean, I have had many people come up to me and ask if it comes factory the glass tinted roof..lol I'm like no its just painted black it's not glass lol

yeah it aint cheap to paint it, but since it didnt cost me anything that route was an easy choise for me otherwise I would go vinyl and do it myself....just buy the stuff and tackle on a day you have off....that stuff is really not that bad to work with...

Boston-I have one suggestion. You're going with the Silver/Black theme, which means your yellow fogs don't seem to go with your theme.....

It looks like your DRL's might be yellow. But even if they are, they are not turned on with your foglights.

Anyway, you might give that some more thought.

Also, did I miss this, or did you say you were going to tint your rear window?

well it's silver/black theme only because I'm not a big fan of silver so thats not all the car is. yellow's are just what I like for fogs in general, and yeah I do have yellow DRL's, I was thinking of wiring the fogs seperate so I can have them on with the DRL's. Also when DRL's are on I still have the yellow lens during the day to match. Yeah tinting will be on all windows including rear glass minus windshield!!

So was this painted or vinyled? I'm thinking of getting vinyl, but I have the ebay roof spoiler on my SSM. Should I get a black roof spoiler if I'm going to do the black roof? And does anyone know if it's possible to vinyl the antenna as well? Thanks.

Thanks man...yea i thought about it, but I want to get CF hood/trunk...but I don't think they make a CF trunk for our cars yet...but it has been on my mind for sure, if im going to do that I will do it was a combo but it won't be anytime soon

Mine was painted, but vinyled comes out real legit as well and it's much cheaper route...and yea antenna can be vinyled i've seen it done...if I were to get vinyled i'd get CF Di-noc vinyl that ish is sick and looks amazing....

Looks good, i like the silver with the blacked out theme. When you go with the black roof and blacked out stuff, you gotta tint the windows dark also! Thats a must in my opinion

thanx man, I know i need one, but only one I've seen is the A-spec one and I'm not really feeling that because then I would want to get the whole lipkit a-spec, but for now I'm waiting for an aftermarket company to tackle the TL for a nice lip, hopefully CF option as well, but right now thats just wishful thinking

yeah tints well come shortly hopefully, I want 5% but here legal limit is 35% in front and rears but rear glass can be whatever color so I'll so that to make the 35% seem darker...I have bad luck with cops so trying to keep it legit when I tint....(wish i was in florida still, then It would dark as knight all day everyday)
