Looks sick with your theme. Do it, gloss black. Here's how my car turned out:

Damn... you cars looks good with the black theme going.

Black roof matches, grill, wheels, and front lip accent. Are you going to blackout your headlight housing?

Yes, because any car with a black roof automatically looks like a Scion tC.

Do it and add some other black accents to it, personally the color of the car/roof color itself would look not so good, but if you add some black accents like grill, emblems, rims, roof spoiler (as shown above) i think you can pull it off.

normally I'm against black roof, but in your case, it would go really well with your theme
