    There are places that 'wrap' the roof in vinyl with a color/pattern of your choice. A friend at work had his Infiniti's roof wrapped in a gloss black.

    If the colored film is 3M or VentureShield it won't come loose.

    I purchased the sheet of vinyl from Instylegraphics.com and installed myself. Check out "drunkin master's" veh. He doesn't have a solar roof and blacked out his entire white roof. He was my inspiration.

    Excellent job! It looks awesome! Did you purchase the Metallic black 24" by 45" sheet? Or was it Dark Grey?

    If you guys are ordering from instylegraphics, call him up and tell him that James told you about the site. He should give you a discount on the price if he can. His prices are always better than the rest.

    The materials were less than $50.00 and I installed myself. Post some pics when you do it.
