Default Black GS "What colour for the roof"

I have a black GS and was going to vinyl the roof in carbon fiber but when looking at them I seen the silver carbon fiber vinyl and thought it might look good with it what do you guys think.

Of course if I had a white GS then I would do it black


Is any one good with photo shop so I can see what it's like ?

Leave it as is. I feel only white pulls this off best and sometimes silver. Flat black carbon fiber would look "decent" at best.

Yeah I gotta agree with everyone else a black car with any other color will not look good, but your free to do anything you want its just better left alone.

Leave it black... The only reason why the black painted roofs work is because it blends in with the sunroof giving the appearance of a panoramic roof... A white roof wouldn't make any sense.

unless you had a themed color accented through the whole car leave it black. now say you had a candy accent on brakes, lugs, interior etc... then i would match the roof between the rain guards
