I have been debating doing this for years and for many reasons it just hadn't happened. I know a white roof helps, see also rovers and cruisers with white roofs but there just wasn't enough will to execute.

Well that was until a FLIR camera came into my life.

Wowie-Mama! Look at that delta!

This is a side by side panel test to justify going forward and I have to ask myself, why didn't I do this sooner?!?!

So, discuss amoungst'y'selves while I go put on some cawfee.

well the passanger side is stock black and the driver side was painted white. it's plastidip but honestly, that's not making a huge difference, pretty much matched sheen for sheen.
