I say paint it! I just picked up my car today from MAC and it looks awesome!

I've seen AW with painted black roofs and it's SICK!

Just PM Derek or Joe, their PM info is in my sig. You won't regret it.

I would only paint it if you plan on keeping the car a very long time. It might be tough to sell later on with a black roof. I say matte black vinyl wrap would be the way to go.

Craig, and many others, have had their roof painted black here. Look at our daily thread and you'll find many examples.
PM or call me for more info.
