The 6-spoke 17's look VERY VERY aggressive in this new color scheme- I just want to get some spacers because the offsets make them tuck too far in, and some 235 or 245 width tires, and make these my dedicated track wheels...

I have also considered the black/white theme. I never thought about the roof, and I definitely will not touch the hood(rice). But with my black wheels, I thought about the black wilwood bbk, but I'm afraid it might be so dark that they may be nearly invisible. I've also considered blacking out the headlight housings. I really like the look here(link originally provided by Gdup35sedan):

Just one question: what are you going to do about your roof in the future? Are you going to leave it as-is when you trade/sell your car? Are you going to attempt to have it color-matched? That makes me think, maybe someone can cut a custom bit of vinyl for the roof. It shouldn't weigh much..

Thanks. The TC actually comes stock with a panoramic roof, so every one you see will be like that. It's also optional on the Audi A3 and Benz E-class.
I think black brakes behind black wheels will look really good- do a search for pics from Vinh (drsifu1)- he's got black Stoptech's underneath his black Volk's.
I've got a really good bodyshop I go to, and I have a great relationship with them. It won't cost me much to have the paint stripped and resprayed back to the stock color (and they do an AWESOME job on the color match), so I'll do that when I get tired of this car.
I don't know how good an overlay would look on the roof, but perhaps if it's glossy enough it might be a good idea...

I also noticed the tucked in appearance of the wheels; I was going to suggest a spacer but figured I'd let it go.
