If you are going to change the roof and stripes I have a few suggestions for you. This way IMO you will have a truly retro look rather then just changing a factory Boss.
Paint the roof blue like the car, the roof is silly white or black.
Since you are changing the stripes get the original flat black reflective type. If you going through the trouble I think most will find them outstanding.
Paint the hood in the same pattern or along the lines of the 69 (a bit wider) in FLAT black. You can pull the color info off the Boss302.com site. I am up in the air on the size of the hood paint since it is different shape than a 69. I am leaning to the 2012 style but in flat.
Paint the top on the deck lid in the same flat black, but not the back lip of the deck lid.
Paint the spoiler same color.
I think that would be the way to go, you are spending the money anyway so go the extra step to have one of a kind retro look and not just some changes. Just thinking about it makes me want to do mine but I am unsure how long I will have it depending on the 13.

I think that would look great. I am getting a new deck lid for the spoiler, I have been thinking of painting it black on top like the 69 70. However that would make me want to paint the roof since I am unsure how that much black will look. At this point just not sure if I want to go that far. I would love to do the stripes but seriously doubt I will put that much money into it.

Rick,
I'll definitely provide photos once I have the roof painted. Not sure yet on the cost because I'm kicking around several options on the side/hood stripes. I don't think I'm leaving them white but like Scott suggested I want to keep to Boss theme so definitely no Lemans stripes.
