They can do it a couple different ways. Vinyl, paint, molded carbon fiber overlay. Do an advanced search on here with roof in the title. You'll find a couple posts about this topic and there are even a couple vendors on here that can supply you with what you need.

In my opinion, the only right way is to go with paint. Depending on your roof (sunroof, antenna) that would require removal of the headliner to get to parts in order to do the paint right.

IMO, black roofs fall under rice.. its like showing off you got a panoramic roof when you haven't.. which reminds me of ricers pretending to sound powerful with fart cans when they ain't got no power lol

I think it looks tight on a G and not rice. Just my opinion though.

people will have their opinions. if you want a black roof, go ahead and get a black roof. bluebat sells a two piece overlay for 70 dollars i believe.

Do overlay for now. So you can always remove it if you want to in the future. If you're guy is good, you won't be able to tell it's an overlay. People have always thought my roof is painted when it's just an overlay done really well with no seam or edges.

Blak roof on white is hot (especially with dark tint). Wouldn't do it with any other color though. I agree that painting is the best option but its permanent and costly...
