Black Widow, Do you have more pics of your car? I was thinking of red stripes but I would like to see more pics. I only see orange available at the dealership.

I HATE my sunroof. I have been doing track days and autocross, and my helmet rubs on the headliner sometimes, which leads to a sore neck the next day. I'm only 5'8. I think the non sunroof cars have an extra inch of clearance.

Well, I didn't get mine with a sun roof....so no one else should have one either.

This is the first car I have owned with a sunroof and I love it. Wife has a Cobalt with a sunroof, and riding around with her made me want one. Glad I did. Love it.

If your car is driven in rain and snow then you may decide against it.....just a thought.

My 99 Lexus has a sunroof and has never leaked..

Go for the sunroof. I've had several cars with a sunroof and it's a nice thing to have. If your height is of concern, leave it. If it isn't, go for the sunroor. I would, however, definitely recommend test drive the car a couple of times with the sunroof so you know what it's like. Once you get one without the sunroof, you'll always wish you'd gotten the sunroof.

My stripes are the Inferno Orange...I love this color combo! Then again I love pretty much every color combo on these great cars. Here's a couple pics...sorry to hi-jack your thread.

that was a huge dilemma for me for a long time... i went with no sunroof, first off, you get the reverse mohawk without it and second, if you are over 6 feet it's less head room. I'm 6'3" and i fit perfectly now

i also dont even feel the need for a sunroof now..

Nice car. My question is, having owned several black cars: either you never drive it to keep it so nice, or are you independently wealthy so you can spend your life keeping it that way! Literally, I would wash my last one, and by the time I got to the rear, the front was dirty again!

Maybe you forgot to add the water?

Another strip option is the CGM stripes from GM. From a distance the car looks all black, get closer and you see the stripes. I like racing stripes on a vehicle, buy not a fan of "loud/stand-outish" colors.

When I was looking for my 45th AE I looked at quite a few with and decided I liked it and regreted not getting it on my 2010 which is another reason I traded up.
