Sherwood Park,
I have a white 2G GSX and I am thinking about painting the roof black like the talon but leaving the spoiler white. Here is a photochop that someone did for me, tell me what you think.

looks great.. make sure the shop does an EXCELLENT job :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:
 
:thumb: :thumb: Go for it, I thought about painting my roof the color of the body, but photoshopped it at my buddies house, and I def. like the black top better.
 
Yeah I am almost sure that I am going to do it, I just wanted others peoples opinion.
 
Just becuase it looks good in photoshop doesnt mean it is going to look good when you get it done. My opinion is photoshop another picutre with a different backround, to me it looks good in that picture because it flows well with the backround. Just be carefull man, thats a big change!
 
I wasn't even looking at the back ground just staring at the car.

but just incase...

i think it still looks good, even if you don't have a background for it to "blend in with"

or you can save everyone the trouble of looking at a photoshop..look at krazykoreans old car and your done...
 
there's a white 2g talon around here, white with black roof. IMHO the black makes the roof look quite bubbly

I have seen his car but it does not have the high turbo spoiler on it so that is why I needed a photochop.
 
Not to be an ass....But if you can visualize a turbo spoler on a car thats EXACTLY the same mines a slightly differently shaped bumper....well yeah..its self explanatory

Maybe my visualization skills aren't as good as yours. :p But I really wanted to see what it looked like and not have to worry about the visualize part.
 
I might be the only one that thinks this..but I think one color (esp. white) is better than the two-toned talon black top with white body. I'm probably in the minority. I don't think the spoiler is really going to flow well with it...I think it would be better to either remove it or paint it black.
 
Do it! It looks hot in person... There's a guy in here who has a white talon he converted to eclipse (bumpers, lights, spoiler)... and he left the roof black. It looks awesome... imo, go for it!
 
It will be a little while before I do it, performance parts come first. :D
 
I have been thinking about this Kris and after seeing your pics go ahead and paint it black it should look good :thumb:
