Uh, what's the point in asking if you've already done it?

Looks great but if I can offer one piece of advice, you should consider putting a clear film (similar as clear bra for bumpers) over the gloss black. Gloss blacks are notorious for scratching so I did gloss black + clear film and it has held up quite well on my e86. Here are my photos:

You should have him wrap the little side rails too. Will look much cleaner. That's what I intend to do.

Yay, white cars with black roof is a good look. Had my GTI with this combo.

I agree with A_Squared, the side rails wrapped would look good.
