to paint or not to paint

my roof black that is. i have a bit of dilemma here. as some of you know i got into a accident and it turns out my car needs to have bumper,hood,fender,roof painted due to some deep scratches.
i found a local bodyshop that will fix the G right up for me and i have asked him to paint my grille black .
also my headlights are already blackout.

should i paint the roof black? or just leave it stock?
ive seen a few pictures with IP and i cant begin to tell you how good it looks.
i appreciated if someone can photoshop an 07 IP with black roof for me, thanx alot!
i have till monday my decision

u think so? i was thinking about throwing in the black hood but im scared i might get flame for it lol.
black hood might look a lil chessy imo, maybe cf hood might just do it.
plus i dont wanna be driving around looking like a cop lol

Are you serious? I just can't see why you'd want to turn a new G35 into used cop car wannabe. I'd definitely try to get a photoshop picture done before two-toning my car. I can't imagine it looking good. ....That said, it's your car and all that matters is that you like it.

Depends on the look you want. If you want to be sport, paint the roof black and get nice wheels to match (lowered of course)

The only way you can get away with that is if you go with a CF hood.

Speaking of which, who makes a CF hood for the 07 sedans? That would probably look killer on a black car.

i bet the black roof would look soooo hot...that'd be a really good way to make the best of your accident, and have one of the most unique g's out there for a WHILE to come..

i would also slap black 20''s on it too..

u can actually have a black roof while still looking stock, it makes it look classier, because it looks like u have a glass roof if ur windows are tinted properly.
