I like my head and tail lights. ^^ What I should have done was get your rear diffuser overlay.

If you're asking my opinion, don't repaint the whole car a different color. Huge PITA and there WILL be small areas that cannot be painted without doing things like removing the front and rear glass etc. I did an entire repaint and color change (Allstate is great btw) and wish I still had stock paint. Part of that was some issues with the shop but part is that OEM paint is just better than aftermarket.

I'm all for the overlays.

Stock paint shouldn't have issues this fast, you may have a little luck with a friendly dealership. A less than 10 year old car with bad paint is an eyesore for a company trying to see more cars, is one way to look at it.

Can we get up close pics of the overlay? As seen from someone entering the car? They look amazing at an angle and 15 feet away, but up close how noticeable will it be?

If it's just the roof, would a respray of it make things look ****ty? How are the hood and deck?

If you plan on selling this thing.. Repaint the roof IP!

If you don't want to spend too much money on it and just enjoy it.. go with the gloss black roof. .

If you just have the G as a toy then do whatever you'd like with it but remember painting it to IP is not bad and not too expensive but doing a complete color change will require you to repaint the door jams, engine bay, trunk bay which will cost A LOT more and take a lot longer to do. If you're doing a color change do NOT cut corners last thing you want is a poorly reassembled car with squeeks =(
