I think it would look great if ur windows are tinted really dark in the back, kinda like a flow of black from back to front

personally i am very much against it. if you have glass roof like the es350 or the mb, it's really cool. otherwise not my cup of tea

to be completely honest........the only reason i havent done it is cuz i have an '07 with the shark fin. otherwise it would already be done. i like it. but you have to have a dark back window to pull it off.

id have to agree with the others, in order to pull of the black roof look your car needs to have limo tint and be SLAMMED,

I think it looks nice from far away but once you're close and you find out that it's just an overlay then it's kind of... disappointing. Plus like you said, what to do with the sharkfin?!

This looks great! You have the perfect color for this. Many have done this on the 2IS and it looks so much better. I would tint the windows to complete the look but not necessary!

Post some pics!!

Like all mods...it is completely up to you as the owner of the car.
In a forum like this with so many different people with a wide variety of taste when it comes to car mods...you are going to get some who like and some who dont...no matter what you do.
I say if you like it...go for it.
