Cool is there any SGM with black roof??

hello everyone,
my name is Kenny and I've been in this forum for a while now..

I was just wondering if there is any SGM IS that has a black roof..
either paint or black vinly
I'm a big fan of black roof on white cars i think it really changes
the looks of the car..

so I'm wondering how it would look if I black roof my SGM IS..
I'm planning on either painting Gloss Black or Flat Black
or just use vinly in case I don't like the look..

I'll be receiving my Jun-TW roof spoiler tomorrow so if I decide to go
with black roof, I might as well paint the roof spoiler black

so I wanna hear from ya'll!!
and I'll really appreciate if anyone can find some pics of SGM with black roof
thanks everyone!!

I don't even think it would be noticeable on SGM.

so, I would recommend to just keep it like it is.

it wouldn't be noticeable. i don't think it's worth it. It would look good on either white or silver.

Nahh if anything do the vinyl..if you don't like it, peel that sucker off. I'm gonna have it done to mine as soon as the guy starts picking up his phone. I talked to him once and he said he absolutely hated doing them and that they're a pain in the ***. (probably why he's screening the calls) But maybe he'll do it if I keep bothering him. I have a starfire pearl and it def. contrasts enough for you to tell from ANY angle..good luck bro

Sorry dude, I think those of us rocking SGM are stuck with the SGM roof....I just don't think it would look very good. As good as the paint itself looks, it doesn't really 'go' very well with other colors IMO, and you really need the contrast to make a black roof look good.


Quick Reply: is there any SGM with black roof??
