paint options. HELP.

so i got into a small accident and scratched the entire drivers side. that is getting fixed, i dropped the car off at the bodyshop and they wanted to know while they are there, if i want them to touch up other things. soooo obviousely i said yes. my Kit fits like Poop and i want to get a factory tail for it. i hate the replica rears and mine fits like, well Poop.

i have old waterspots that have ruined the paint on the top of the trunk and the roof. they are going to match perfectly the paint for the trunk but the guy who ownes the shop does amazing work. trust me AMAZING.... wish i had a camera while i was there. i'll take pics tomorrow. anyway he offered to paint the roof super gloss black to make it look like glass. they had a customer pick up a GTI that had it done today. it looked awesome. i have also seen it done on Ford Probe's and it looks great on those as well.

anyone seen an 8 like that?
anyone have photos of an 8 like that?
anyone wanna PS a TI grey 8 for me with a roof black?

also what do you guys think?

i will post pics of mine if someone wants to PS it for me.

I recall seeing someone with the same color with a black roof. It was either in the for sale section or in the photo gallery section....

How big is the roof? Anyone know? I'm thinking about getting some vinyl to put over it.
