Default blacked out roof panels

Has anyone with the black interior considering having the roof panels and the A pillar interior panels done in black to match the rest of the interior?

I sorta like the contrasting colour scheme.. Doesn't make the interior seem so unfriendly.. Sorry married to an interior designer and I think she is rubbing off on me.. LOL

Please don't paint the headliner and the A pillar. That's just blasphemy. I just can't imagine how painting those pieces in a $70k car would improve it. If you really need it black, do it right and get the pieces reupholstered. I guess 2 each his own though. Just my 2 sense

I'd guess that Lexus kept those areas "white" in an otherwise black interior to keep the cockpit brighter and more inviting. All black might feel a bit confining and claustrophobic.

I don't recall ever seeing any car with a black headliner - has anyone?
