Yep- The thread above yours shows someone wrapping their PW with a black roof. Here is mine.

They are MB Battles.. best bang for the buck wheel. 18x9.5 +15 all the way around. They weigh 21 lbs so pretty light. You can pick them up for around 800 bucks for a set.

Interested to hear if there are some cheap solutions to a black roof. Someone i spoke to privately said it was about $600 to have it painted.

I saw someone tried to Plati-Dip their roof as well. Didn't turn out very well..

I tried that. Would have been fine if I wanted a flat finish, but I wanted gloss as well. I'm debating whether to get vinyl or get it painted. I've been quoted $350 to paint the roof gloss black.

Only thing is it might make me want to get my window tints re-done to make them darker so it looks better with the black roof
