Roof color question

My MCS is Red with the white roof, I bought the car used (2 years old with 15,000 miles on it) so I took what I could get. I want the roof to be black. My question is what would be the best way to do it. I can go the graphic route and cover the whole roof, Id still have to paint the spoiler and mirror caps. Or... I could take it to a body shop and have the roof re-painted..

Any opinions out there? --Matt

I just had my roof painted black (it was white also). It ran about 450 bucks. You can see it here.

It'd look best to paint...a graphic would make your roof black but it'd never look as good as painted. Mirror caps can be found in black, I'm sure, and they can be easily switched out. I see no way around the spoiler than to paint.

I was planning to buy a new spoiler anyway. $450 is way lower than I expected, I think that is what Im going to do. I guess its time to start visiting body shops.. Thanks for the input --Matt
