Anybody wanna enlighten me on the history of this?? iv seen a few in pics..

Was an option on early 3rd gen GT's. My friend has a red 96 or 97 GT with the black roof. As far as I can tell though, not very common.

iv seen a few for sale on craigslist in my area, i would love to pick up a Gt 5sp....now my next question would it be wrong if i did the "black top" look on my SE....

you can do what ever you would like to with paint on your car as long as you like it. I have a friend that painted the roof of his silver 02 Cav black a while back. I really like the look, but then again I have a 96 GT red with the black roof stock.

well my car is probably guna end up white or silver and the color contrast would look good..imo

I believe the black roofs were only available on 1995 and 1996 Sunfire GTs.

Rather than paint, I would suggest maybe trying black vinyl or black Plasti-Dip first, that way if you don't like how it looks, it's easily removed and didn't cost a ton of money. I do think it would look pretty good though, especially on white or silver *cough* do silver *cough* .

Well in my case i am the painter soo its wouldnt be no problem to respray...and i have been looking into silver

Locally there is a guy with a white gt black roof / factory red cloth interior. For a j it's droolworthy.

My my first sunfire was red with red interior, now i have charcoal..im pretty stuck on the black roof now..lol

Had mine painted cause i like the look so much! Lafonjef's is right behind mine!

yea i think im sold on it...

been thinking of painting my hood as well...but idk..im guna have a 00-02 GT front bumper w/ eyelid hood and the whole car is guna be silver or white..the only thing that makes me not wanna paint the hood black is because when u have eyelids it makes it look bought not hand made.....i wish i had a way to see my car with color..that way i could decide..haha

yeah if you just spray your hood black its going to look like you just bought the hood off someone and can't afford to have it painted.

My thoughts EXACTLY! BUT 02_redbadged's car looks pretty good with silver on black......

I think his is carbon, though. As for the factory 2-tone, I've seen mostly red ones.. came across a few in the junkyards. In fact, every time I've seen one, it's also had the charcoal headliner as well. Also seen them with either charcoal or red interior. The oddest one I've found was a teal GT with a black roof. I've only seen the one, so it kind of makes me wonder if they had it done.. but the rest of the car was bone stock, so I'm inclined to believe that this was just a rarity. I love some of the random @!#$ GM did with the j-cars in the mid 90s.. made it seem like they actually cared about them.

My hood is carbon. I just have always liked the look since the dsm that I had was black roofed.

I've really only seen the black roof on red, teal, and burgundy. Be cool if someone actually knew what fires came wit em'

I think the black roof is pretty cool and it kinda makes it look like the newer cars where the roof is a big sunroof..lol

Dave had one a while back... dunno if he still does or not. It's in his registry still though.

the most awesome version of SFGT evar

so iv been toying with paint ideas and iv settled on painting silver with black roof but the hood just looks kind of plain if it doesnt have something added to it colorwise, and as discussed earlier i dont really wanna do the black eyelid hood so im thinking of doing some design or some sort of stripes and this is 1 of my better ideas..(i really need to get a copy of photoshop)

i always thought it was a 95 only option? reason i saw that is because ive only seen 95's with the black roof.

and evan, ive seen a teal one with it here locally. ive seen a blue, teal, and red. all three had the quad 4 in em... so 95's.
