Black roof anybody?
Has anyone other than the D2technik car done the black roof? I'm contemplating doing it. Anyone?

Not too crazy about the black roof idea. If anything, it's just more maintenance and more issues with heat during the summer time.

You can maintain the OEM paint job, plus you can just ripped off the vinyl once you are sick of the "BLACK ROOF"!!!

A painted or vinyl black roof is
in my opinion. However, I think the panoramic (glass) roof is tres cool; also, I know that cars with carbon fiber roofs are designed as such to lower their centers of gravity. All else appears cosmetic and would even seem slightly pretentious.
