Now u should paint the roof black to go with the theme 
illtech is going to talk with Seibon and see if they will make one for me. I don't want to do a vinyl roof if I can get a real one, plus it would look really poser to say " yeah the hood and trunk is authentic Seibon but the roof.......well thats just vinyl"

Thanks bro thats what i wanted to know
No problem
CAUTION though. dont get the trunk unless you are willing to spend the money to have it installed right, the hood is very simple, about 2 hours to do a basic install but the trunk took 5 straight hours of their tech shaving and fitting and reshaving and fitting.
Its deffinately worth it in the end but unless you are prepared to spend $1000 to have it, dont get it thinking you can just plop it on, doesnt work like that.

hood weighs 15lbs
trunk weighs little less then 9lbs
its actually sounds the same when i close both ironically, but the trunk weighs so much less then the oem one i have to be careful when i open it because it flies up like it was fired from a cannon
the first time we all started laughing because it almost knocked out the tech

Great looking stuff guys- I've bought the VIS Penta for my 550 from Andy T... I'm hoping the Penta isn't "too much" on the car but we'll see... it looked fantastic at the body shop- the CF quality was amazing and the edges and all the details were perfect. Should be color matched and done next week and I'll post pics. I think these are cool mods for sure!
i saw a full VIS setup and on illtechs s2000 and after a year the clear was really hurting, it was all faded in many areas and needed to be recleared big time.
Hope yours doesnt have that issue after a while
