So guys, im about to get my carbon trunk in a few days. I already have a carbon fiber hood. As you guys know, my car is the s2000 blue.....anyways, i was maybe considering spraying my roof black to flow with the hood and the trunk. What do you guys think?
why not carbon grey like a dark, dark grey?Quote:

This makes them look sparkly just like the paint. Im not sure if you have any in your paint already, if you dont, this wont work. But painting the roof black should look pretty cool.
if you will have both a carbon hood and trunk then I'd say a dark roof is a good move
black wouldn't be bad but i agree with Reelax...a dark grey would flow nicely across the entire vehicle
I've seen your car's pics before, yeah black or CF roof is required with CF hood and trunk(I think cali has CF roof)!
Hmm...i never thought of that. That would look good too :smile: Maybe something like the new IS250 dark grey? Any other suggestions on the greys?Quote:

i would tend to trust censee's advice on this since he's actually done it and has seen it in dark grey. thanks bro!
wow...i like the way that looks! So i will most likely be spraying it black, thanks guys!
i told my friend to paint his roof black and while he was at it i told him to smoke his cf hood and cf hatch. looks the best IMO. all black in appearance but upon close inspection you can still se the carbon fiber. plus it helps to add a little extra clear to keep your CF products looking goog considering they usually delaminate in a couple of years.
Definitley paint the roof. I was going to go that route until I destroyed my CF hood in my accident. Now I'm not doing CF on the outside anymore.
Damn where the hell you been man? How things w/ the G. You gotta fixed up or what?
Paint it black,looks better than grey,i have mine mercedes black,looks good :wink:
wrap it cf vynl for complete look...
I'd say only if it completely matches the real CF completely but if not, then just go with black.Quote:

black would defintely look good too.
why don't go with real Carbon Fiber? I saw somone here with CF roof, how is it? I am considering it myself, I just got a real CF matt, (40 s.f.) of Ebay!
