never heard of it called "jetfighter"
you get the black roof with the panorama sunroof

I'd say if you do it, your windows should be tinted.

The 2nd gen GS guys are doing it pretty big.

Here's an S class, can't really see crap



E class


ES

Lol, that's what they call on my nsx. Yeah, I have seen many MB with black roof, cuz I work in a MB dealership as a tech, I really like that look. Just wondering how it would look on our LS430.... yeah, my window is tinted, but I don't really wanna paint my roof without seeing it first

Ah I guess I already have it,, since my car is for all intents and purposes Almost black already LOL No tints for me,, Drove one with tents and felt like I was in a Cave. Also I like for other drivers to see me at stop signs, and when I give the the High Salute for tailgating.

That white LS with the black roof does look really nice. There is a thread about an LS that was vandalized and brought back to beauty that has this done. I would pull up the thread if I was not on my iPhone. He has a nice setup with black wheels and some LED spot lights under his car.
