If the roof spoiler is black, go for it.

Otherwise, that roof spoiler is gonna stick out like a weird bar that goes acroos the roof...

i would say get the vinyl they offer. that way you can remove it later should u decide not to like it.

personally i think the black roof degrades the "luxurious" style of the IS but gives it a sportier, more aggressive look.

Maybe you should just paint the quarter panels black. Then maybe take it a step further, and randomly spray primer around on the other panels.
