I'd like to get everyone's opinion on this because I'm super torn on it. I have a sheet of gloss black film big enough for the roof of my car...Should I do it? Like I said, I'm just torn on whether or not it's worth it to actually go through the hassle of doing it.

If you want to.
Simple mods like this can be easily done, and undone.
Plus, your car has lots of black trim on it, and I think it will compliment it.
What kind of transmission does this car have? A cvt?

And it has an auto 5-speed with tiptronic paddles on the steering wheel. (The tiptronic is miserable though.) The four cylinders had a 5-speed manual option.

Oh cool, in your videos it sounded like one of those crappy cvt's(I didn't hear it shift hahaha no offense).
Shiftronic/tiptronic is usually crappy in automatic cars. It has a delay and it only really seems to be there for you to keep the RPM's up during deceleration. Have you looked into a shifter kit? I've been in an auto tt supra with one, and the shifts are super crisp.

I've never heard of shifter kit. What exactly does it do?

As long as your car looks amazing (in your eyes) while your rolling down the street, that is your own personal perfect stance.
Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic.

Decided on Thursday that I was tired of the Aero front lip sitting in my basement doing nothing, and I didn't want to worry about having paint matched for it right now, so I had a though "The car's theme is black and white, so why not paint it black?" So I did.
Before:

And I was like:
But when I put it on I was like:

I LOVE the black. It shows up a lot more in person than it does in pictures, and compliments the trim line very nicely. Thinking I'll do the side skirts in the same satin black and get try to get them mounted before WBTB.
