i think it would look pretty good given that your car is lowered and running aftermarket wheels.

the samurai look (bald head) alone looks kinda werd imho.

Check this thread ---> https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/2nd-...installed.html

It shows a GE8 with the skyroof, that covers most of the roof. (original pic below)

The pic below was photoshopped in that thread to show what it would look like with the rest of the roof blacked out.

orange will look great w/ black (think about halloween colors). i have an orange too and love it to death. it's especially attractive in autumn. post the pics when you put the roof on.

If you often park your car in the sun in Florida, a black roof will make it hotter inside and reduce any benefit you might have gained from tinting the windows (assuming you have).

Should look nice though

I will most likely be blacking out the top of my white fit. I'm just going to get it painted on. Then paint a few more spots on it black

That's not the real sky roof. That is a member on here and a sunroof he had installed aftermarket.
