Hmmm, remember the 91-93 NSX's? They had black roofs. It was meant to look like the canopy of a fighter pilot, and they kinda did.

mmmm, NSX. a wonderfully beautiful car.

^Although, I have seen a Glacier Frost GS with the roof painted black in person already, so I'm not at all concerned with how it will look. I just want the option of returning it to stock later if I so desire.
