Hey everyone, just looking for some final opinions before I go through with this. Right now this is how my ride looks
I was wondering, should I or should I not, wrap my roof black? I used to be against the idea but the more I see it in person, the more it grows on me ... Do you guys think I should do it? Or is my car a little to stock looking for that?
I also have a roof and trunk spoiler as well but didn't get that in the picture, as well as a Tsudo exhaust which has fairly large tips by comparison to stock. Thanks CL!
Edit: Here is a (not so good) picture of the back.
Okay looks like there may be a change in plans. I just took my car to a local paint shop (the same one that repaired and painted my driver door and rear bumper) and was quoted a very very good price to not only have some deep scratches repaired (rear passenger fender and rear passenger door) but also have my hood and front bumper repainted as well. ( I have a lot of chips in the paint)
On top of that, he said he would paint my roof and roof spoiler a nice glossy black all for around $500. I couldn't believe how low his price was and normally I would be a skeptic, but seeing as how he did a great job on my car before, as well as doing a great job on a friend's Carolla over a year ago, I think I will definitely be going this route.
What do you guys think? Worst case scenario I have it repainted back to silver... He did such a good job on my car in the past, you can't even tell it was ever painted or damaged.
Where do you live, city? I'm not for the diff color look, accept carbon fiber, but if you like it then go for it. Jacripper mentioned if you don't like it then peel it. True and good idea. Once it's paint your stuck with it, unless you have the money to paint it back to silver. Hell if I see one in person I might dig it but seeing other cars painted like that just doesn't do it for me.

Nice , I really like that one that had the Gfx lip as thats the route I plan to go with mine.
Also I didn't like the whole 2 color scheme at first either. As a matter of fact , I still hate cars that have a full on two tone scheme going on. But for some odd reason it's like the more I saw 2IS's with black roofs in person, the more I liked it? I don't know why either, I guess it just grew on me lol
You be the judge, Vinyl for only $50 do it yourself with protection on the inner oem paint option or your route.
I would do , but honestly this isn't really a task I would like to attempt on my own. Besides, I was gonna have to repaint my hood and remove those ugly deep scratches at one point or another anyway. So I figured I may as well just do it this way... plus he won't charge me an arm and a leg to go back either. Will it cost more than removing a wrap myself? Yes, but it won't be all that expensive either.
Well with the overwhelming majority saying yes. I decided i will indeed paint the roof black
Thanks everyone for your opinions, ill be sure to post a few pics once the job is done. I should be taking the car in , in about 2-3 weeks or so be sure to check it out!
