| a white car with black roof good?
so lately ive seen many cars with black roofs... i dnt know if its REAL CF or just painted black..
and i bought a used integra, but its a fixer... and painting is on the list..
so should i just paint it:
1 - ALL white (including side mouldings which is black)
2 - white with black roof
3 - all white but leave the mouldings black
this will be done at a bodyshop..

leave it oem, the teg's windshield is curved at the top if I remembered correctly which looks like ass when you have a black roof.
but like said above n-motion can vinyl your roof, as well as dhp can CF your roof.

its probably just gloss black vinyl as mentioned before.
i'll probably look good on your teg if you have other mods to go along with it.

people have it painted black, and real CF
white cars with a black roof look really good if you ask me, but really good on certain cars as opposed to other cars
this is real CF, looks sexy as fuck  | |

Look good on certain cars, bad on some others. I'd say you paint it all white and vinyl top black so in case you sell in the future, the buyer can have it removed if he/she doesn't it.

I've seen a white C300 with a black vinyl roof. It was done very poorly and had so many air bubbles I swear you can take a white-out pen to connect the dots and make a funny picture.

Mixed feelings about it.
The only cars I can think of with CF hoods are the BMW's...
I personally think painting it black looks tacky, like how some people paint their hoods black when it's not even CF.

paint it white and then just put vinyl over it. if you change ur mind in the future and don't like the vinyl, you can just remove it. if its paint, you'll have to have it repainted
