Well my car goes into the body shop on Monday to be repaired from what those thieving bastards did. Now my friends talon has the roof and side panels painted hunter green, the same as the rest of the car. It looks really good actually!! I'll try to get a pic. But im thinking of doing it aswell!

Can I get some opinions from you guys? Im at work so i'll post up a picture of my friends car when I get home!

I got my car painted a candy apple/metallic red and left the top black and it looks pretty sick...
I guess it's just personal preference

Your car is what colour?
If its the burgundy color I think it is I would say leave the roof black.

Body coloured. No one else has one. Get them to do the other strips going down the windows to.

Good luck.

My roof matches my body....mind you my car is black.

I'd paint the roof the same colour as the body if i were you. I never understood why they painted them all black.
