Totally Agree!!

Are you going for a Glossy Black or Satin/Matte Black??

Also, are you going to have the Top rain track trim piece removed during the install, to guarantee a clean install??

Haha, ok, ok!!! Joe, It's gonna be a glossy black vinyl, since I don't think a matte finish would flow with the rest of the car. Also, I'm pretty sure they'll have to remove the trim pieces for the install. I'll find out more soon.

I was thinking carbon fiber overlay on the roof and possibly on the thin strip right on top of the doors. Of course I would get a CF hood and trunk with matchin spoiler. I was thinking of getting the CF lip and side skirts all around as well. Anyone care to do a photoshop of how that's gonna look like? I have a tungsten pearl is 350.

^I already have a CF hood, and while the CF overlay would certainly look great, I'm firmly against adding weight to my car - I'm trying to go the other way...

It looks incredible honestly...My friends just got it done on their cars.

One of them was a white E350 and it looks insane with the black roof and black carlsson wheels and my other friend did it on his B6 A4 and it looks beautiful as well.

They both did their roofs at Multi Auto Group in North Hollywood...They did a great job...

We can only hope a Special Edition IS350 comes out with a glass roof...
