Do I change it up or leave it alone? Ok my SS is not like all the other ones, from the factory all SS that i know of had black roofs. The guy that had the SS before me had the roof and the side mirrors painted the color of the car "Pewter" which over time has grown on me and i actually like it. But I'm wanting to paint my berger panel Gloss black and I'm also wanting to have the hood scoop painted Gloss Black, and ill be adding black Depo headlights along with black turn signals and tinting the window 20% all the way around.
My biggest concern is doing all of this and in the end it not all coming together because of the roof. What do yall think? Will it look fine or like ****? Should I just leave everything the way it is?
Here is a pic of the car
Here is a pic of the Berger Panel as of now

Makes me kind of want to paint my bubbly sail panel 
but in all honesty I'd leave the panel alone. I think the Berger look is getting over done. It just doesn't appeal anymore.
Edit: do the headlights and turn signals though along with the hood scoop. But leave the rear alone.

I think the body color roof would look alot better if the little triangle pieces by the windows were black. Personal taste I know, but I always hate the look of those when their body color too. Beyond that, the first thing I'd do is lose the 16" Z28 wheels for at the very least some 17" SS wheels.

Id check rpo codes on that car...
They could have been downgraded, but those are not ss wheels. They're base wheels. The roofs AFAIK were black on all late fourth gens equipped with v8's. Some earlier fourth gens had body colored roofs with v8's...
I would be questioning the authenticity of the car.

i do not want to have to roll my windows down to back up, i had 2% in my truck and hated it. I figure 20% all the way around would be just right.

As stated above Im getting new wheels later on in the year. I have a budget im working with and the S60 is taking most of it. So i figured i would do some small en-expensive things like headlights,window tinting etc.

The answer you are looking for is..........PLASTI-DIP, if you don't know about this, check in the PAINT & BODY area. Theres is a sticky on it.
