It looks great on silver, but only do it if you plan getting at least 30% all around. I would do the rear window in 15%.

Man, you're showing everybody the wrong picture.
When i saw M32's car with the black roof, his is what got me goin.
So in conclusion, if you have aftermarket wheels. It will look good.

LOL!!! thats great... but I think its missing something...something needs to tie it in w/the rest of the car, I agree tint would help..but something w/the hood /and or trunk needs to happen..but thats just my opinion..if you like it go for it!

Didn't you know Scaras can't get played out because they're a dealer option?

One of the OG Norcal guys, Jawnthen, did this back in 2004. It was the first time Id seen that, and really liked the look, especially how he had the roof matched up to his wheels

Yeh i know but it's not my car. I'm still looking for a GS but i would like to have a Black one.

This is the car from a friend of mine and he isn't convinced to go for the Black Top. I agree on putting more Black on the car to make it look even bether.
