You will want to drive something different, it will be sooner than you think, and you will hate yourself for doing this when you go to sell it and someone with money doesn’t like that you painted the roof black when you were bored and it seemed like a cheap and easy way to make your car unique.

No way jose.

It would be done with vinyl…which would suck to take off and get all the residue off, but a day’s worth of work isn’t so bad.

edit: here it is with black mirrors and tinted side markers

No. It looks OK at best and it’s really not worth the hassle of removing it when you sell.  
(I already thought about doing it to my car)

that is indeed my car, and it is indeed that low

yeah…I’m not doing it. As soon as I did the photoshop it was a quick decision not to. Just been wondering what the consensus is on the interwebs.

It looks ok with the black roof, but it is not worth the time or effort. The black mirrors look terrible.

I really hate when people put that fake cf vinyl on the exterior of the car. It’s super fake and thus lame.
