    might look ok, take a pic of ya car and change it with photoshop or even windows paint program. thats how i sampled ideas with mine. alot cheaper that way.

    well, you see. most people go with a lighter colour on the roof for temperature reasons. thats why a lot of old classics go white roof (no air cond)

    i would never do it, but go right on ahead.

    i got a carbon colour roof on my white ute.. you dont notice any temp differene inside, but the roof does get very hot to touch compared to the bonnet and hard lid

    you can get vinyl wraps as well, which actauly protect the paint underneath if your unsure, can always remove when it comes time to sell aswell

    the car generally needs to have an aggressive stance/look to pull off the black/carbon roof. on an otherwise stock car, it just looks silly

    when bmw owners replicate the m3 csl carbon roof, they usually paint or vinyl wrap them
