Gloss black roof and trunk....YAY or NAY???
Kinda want to change look of my car, I'm looking for different (non white) wheels. I was thinking about white/black color scheme. Should I go with black roof and trunk or just keep it white?
What do you guys think?

Nay, but I also wouldn't have gone with a color matched harness bar or stretched tires, so I don't know how much my vote counts.

Vinyl or paint? If it's vinyl, do both and rip it off later lol.

I vote for roof only. If you're gonna do the trunk, you have to do the hood as well, IMO.

In my opinion, black roofs are played out. Your car looks really clean currently.

Leave it or just do the roof.

As for played out... they're still coming out on a LOT of cars straight from the factory and they still look good. Plus it's vinyl so you can peal and will have to in a few years anyways.

I have a white car with gold wheels. I'm planning on changing up the wheels and possibly doing a black roof as well... not white wheels though... and it's a derailed wagon... But I may also be changing the color of the car all together and saying screw it.

I think a vinyl black trunk would look weird but I do like cf trunks on white cars a lot

4 sizes too small isn't bad?

I vote nay on using vinyl to change the color of any panels.

225 is good up to a 8.5" rim. 225 on a 9" isn't horrible.

Matte black vinyl on the roof and the top of the trunk. Maybe something down the side of the car too?

Very clean looking car, I vote for vinyl on the roof. Easy to change if you change your mind.
