On second thought, I will probably get vinyl rather than paint. I do plan on selling the Z in a few years so I would just have to pay to get it re-painted back to factory color. With the vinyl I could just take it off myself and use the money I save to get my tint redone
In for prices if anyone knows vinyl pricing!

I got my roof wrapped for 150... if it makes a difference to anyone. They can do it 1 of 2 ways, remove the panel above your window and wrap all the way or cut it at the seams. Mine was cut at the seams but looks great.

I had my roof vinyl'd over two years ago and it still looks good.

You just need to treat it like you would treat a painted part and it should last you for awhile.

What color do you have? What about wheels? Some pics would help... We always follow a theme with the car and make sure it flows.

corbin09, very nice, I have been debating gloss or semi glass black roof in vinyl for both my PG and the bro's Red Z34. Someone mentioned the Bat as a source, wonder what he is charging for the vinyl as I have someone locally that can install it.

IIRC it was somewhere around $100.

Is your CF, glossy or more of a flat matte color?
