That was QUICK! <grin>

Totally agree on the choices made for your three vehicles, Tom. The black roof looks very good on yellow and gray but definitely would not look good on the white car.

I'm wondering, couldn't they have wrapped OVER the roof stripes and you'd have had a slight "stripe ghost?" That might have looked cool. :-)
Now a white car, with black stripes..... a black roof would look great.

And I definitely agree with some of the comments above that a car with no stripes almost has to have a black roof.

A black roof is the preferred background for painting your racing number on the roof for aerial surveillance of the race.

I originally ordered my car Iconic Silver with the black roof. I changed it at the last minute to Performance Blue and decided to keep the black roof and glad I did. After having the rear window tinted 5%, it looks like an extension of the roof or visa versa.

Tom, your yellow R with the black roof looks awesome. Can't picture it any other way.

I have rapid red coming with black stripes AND black roof. I haven't seen one like it. I did see and loved Iconic silver with stripes and black roof. I figure if I don't like it with red, I can always take off the stripes.

Doesn't matter how the roofs are wrapped or painted, 3Rs is just wrong. 3Rs and a GT500 is even wronger! Oh to be Tomster... :headbang:

That's not my wife.

She was checking out the car at a place I used to frequent.

Sure is quiet around here...

As usual, I was quickly bored so I got to doodling and ginned this up, just for you, Tom. :-)

I would buy one of those. Not for the photos, but it encompasses all the ups, downs, laughs, challenges, etc that make up our GT500 experience.

Those avatars of yours kept a lot of people going. You should be proud of yourself.
