You could go with a white top for that "To Protect and Serve" look.

I'm seriously considering wrapping my roof in gloss black vinyl. Also maybe a few other accents to help pull it together like rear diffuser, maybe mirrors, or ?. What do my fellow 5-owners think, how would it look against a Carbon Black exterior?
Here's a few pics of what I'm talking about applied to other Bimmers:

Here's what it would be going on:

I was thinking about doin my roof too I got same color Carbon Black 2008 525i M-Sport 18"-M Style summer and some BMW Style 18"s winter setup. You got the 19's or are they 20's?
Thats what I had in mind too if I wrap it should be carbon 3D BUT what should I wrap besides the roof... Mirrors but they aint M5 mirrors so they'll look shady I think. Rear bumper but just the part that "houses" the exhausts... if you know what I mean

yeah Im afraid it might even ruin the look of the car thats why I havent done it yett.. I think it will look awkward if you are not running ///M5 mirrors which I aint yett
you know carbon is that sportish look but classy mirrors will kill the whole view on Carbon Black I think..Edit:
Then when I think once I do get the ///M5 mirrors the new look might not need carbon wrap on roof yett alone mirrors.. or it might just need that..
damn! Im confused!

Black vinyl roof only works with AW,silver, blue, and sometimes red cars. Not on black, is just pointless.What I have actually thought about is Jet Black car with CF roof.
