So, a black, vinyl roof is gonna happen. I've picked out the vinyl (a textured black that reminds me of old-school vinyl roofs from the 60s and 70s. I initially settled on a line that followed the window line of the car, like this.

Then, after looking at it some more, I realized that there's another line that also makes sense... maybe more sense, and this is what I'm calling the "fastback roof line." My purpose is to call back to the look of my first car - a '69 Mustang Grande - white with a black vinyl top, so maybe this works better. However, this line extends onto the trunk, so I mocked up options with and without the vinyl extending onto the trunk. Although I don't have it in the pictures, my performance package spoiler will also be wrapped in black.

Here's the version that follows the fastback roof line and extends onto the trunk.

Here's the version that follows the fastback roof line, but the trunk portion is deleted.
