It will be mine, oh yes. Stealth trunk display is first though, but the air components will play into it. Shooting for some time before you pull the trigger on rims.

I didn't even catch that, but I think on a modded x type like this the black roof looks acceptable. On a bone stock x type, I think it might just look plain wierd.

Thanks guys for the opinions, I think Jeremy hit the nail on the head with the photoshop edit.

I am going to pass on painting the roof. The vinyl gig was just to get the idea to paint it high gloss as Jeremy said. But it looks passable but just to iffy to me to really like it.

Now, I just did a clean LED License Plate Light Strip, since the LED bulbs would just flicker after 3 months of the trunk pounding. Some Pics attached. This LED Strip is nice and bright. Weather Proof and only $6 with 3M adhesive. Gives it that fresh look to match the HIDs.

To keep on topic... black roof not good.

Allen and I are in our own little unique bubble of German-car influence and tastes, so bear with us everyone.

Crap... If you're going with an air setup I'm going to have to step it up (or down I guess) a notch and go all the way down on the coilovers.
