Ive been wanting to do it forever..my real reasoning is that my roof is fucked from cats taht use to sleep on it and its ever so slightly cheaper to get it done back and i dont think itl look half bad

You should get a cf trunk if you are painting the roof black. Keep the hood one color

because CF just screams "steal me!!!"

if I do get a CF hood/roof/trunk, they are getting painted for sure. CF is your friend, but its also a thieves friend.

yeah i suppose, but honestly the reason i got the cf was for looks....in reality the weight saving means jack-all. I dont really drive much and when i do its not in bad areas, so i dont really let thieves dictate how i have my car.
