I think a glossy black paint to make it look like a pano roof is the way to go.

Vinyled the roof
Well, the nice weather is finally here and I got motivated.
Repainted the grill black, I also painted the fins on the hood black and the calipers yellow and I bought some wheels that I want to paint the centers black.
I had black vinyl installed on the roof to see if I like it and I think I do since I'm doing the black and silver theme.
All that is left is lowering the car, blacking out the emblems and maybe painting the mirrors and exhaust black as well.
What do you guys think? o, and forgive the dirtyness, should have washed the car before painting...

I got it from a guy on here selling it in the exterior for sale section, screen name Don Nguyen. It was cheap and good quality and you can remove it if you don't like it.
I got the wheels off CL for cheap, they are overall in good condition. They are 18x8.5's although I measured them and it seems they are 9.5's. One came with a tire and I put it on in the front and it fit ok.
