Hey to be honest and no hard feelings at all, but that would be the tackiest looking thing ever. Seriously! Don't do it! White ones can pull it off because there are black areas on the car, for instance rims, tinted windows, the moon roof being black, and grill. Ask for a photoshop of it.

Probably stand out too much and totally look out of place if nothing else on the car is white. But try it anyways, want to see a pic.

YooNiBaLL is right. Black with white roof won't look very nice. Only white cars with black roof can pull it off.

UV had matte black with stock white roof. That's because he was out of foil.

Do not do that. It will look like you went to the junk yard to find a replacement roof panel and all they had was one in white.
