black roof on white 09??

I saw a new mercedes driving down 101 yesterday with a black roof and it was white and looked surprisingly good. Anyone seen it on a 09 wrx sedan yet? I think it might look really clean especially since I have really dark tint. What does anyone think of this?? My car is white also

I think what you see on most cars is actually a panoramic roof, which is dark tinted glass. White cars done up proper with black accents are incredibly sexy:

There's a dude in Socal that will vinyl wrap your roof for $100 or so.

Some of the M3s also had the carbon roofs.

Well I can get it vinyl wrapped here but I don't know how well it holds up. And I like the matte finish but at the same time it kinda looks like I have more work to do to it still with it matte. And I'd prefer not a carbon vinyl cuz that looks too autozone haha

Well, black hoods on white cars has been going on for a few years, then there were black trunks on white cars, so why not graduate to black roofs on white cars now?

And yes, I know it was supposed to carbon fiber, just like how the roof is supposed to be panoramic glass.

All the new coupes come with CF roofs, the sedans do not.

Someone in my apt. complex has a white Benz with the black roof.... I think it looks HAWT. They have chrome wheels which kills it for me, but I think the car would be totally smokin' if they put some less gawdy wheels on.
