Default Roof Vinyl Wrap on leased Lexus?

I really want to roof vinyl wrap (black gloss) my lexus (atomic silver) but it's on a lease. I know the wrap is removable but the auto shop i contacted said the shark antenna will be painted (black) and not wrapped. I think it would look weird if the antenna is a different color other than black since it's part of the roof.

At the end of my lease, I intend to trade it in for a newer lexus from a dealer. Do you think the dealer would still charge me of the modifications even if I will lease another lexus as replacement of the old one? Thanks!

It probably won't. Black gloss vinyls only look good on white cars. I would just leave it as is.

Gloss black vinyl looks good on any IS, much like window tint.
