will look amazing, but be warned that, when parked in sun, gonna get pretty hot than usual.

I personally think gloss black would look better

sfar785 05-05-2012 02:10 PM

just think of how hot it'll make the cabin of your car during a sunny day

Want to do the same thing for my Taffy White, but here near the equator things get real hot.....

please do, i'm curious as to how this looks

Might look quite nice but seeing as your location is warm, besides the heat factor, good luck taking it off later. Hight temps will make it harder to take off. Also, from a body shop perspective, depending on how long it's on there, the paint around it will certainly fade and you may get the ol' removing the rug on the wood floor look.

It might not look bad but I don't think it will be an improvement. Personally, I wouldn't do it.

^ my car flowed better with a black roof because I have a carbon hood. But I got mine wrapped in Gloss black, not flat black. Mine looks like he roof is painted.

I think it looks good in that application. It could be kind of cheesy but one of the short antennas with carbon fiber might be a nice touch on there.

sfar785 05-09-2012 12:18 PM

i like everything about that car except the headlights

Perrenoud Fit 05-09-2012 01:30 PM

Hey SS that roof is gonna be cook'n hot when the sun hits it! :eek:

mabouya 05-11-2012 07:28 AM

i say do it. whats the worst thats going to happen? you dont like it and all you need to do is rip it off, and what waste some money compared to painting it.

BlueBoogers 05-11-2012 07:48 AM

I'm having mine painted next weekend. :hyper:
