Default Blacked-out roof?

Has anyone seen or have a LS430 with a glass or glass-looking roof? If you have, how does it look? I love that look and is very interested in it.

i say if you decide to do this, go with black vinyl instead of paint so you could always remove it if you get bored with it later on. Cheaper than paint too i bet
