The car is in the shop right now getting some things painted, but most of all the back is being completely repainted and redone with the license plate area a flat black, rear diffusers flat black, emblem flat black, and tinting my tails tomorrow. Thinking of completing the flat black look with perhaps a matte black vinyl? Any thoughts?

Im torn because although the front hood emblem will be black and my grilles as well with my rims, I'm still torn.

 

I personally love a black roof on many cars and think they look really good on the Crossfire coupe. Matte, flat, gloss, carbon fiber - whatever floats your boat. But I say go for it.

 

I agree, just stay away from the chrome tape.

 

I think you should do it. If money allows, I will do a CF cap on my roof and deck lid/spoiler to match my hood.

 

All these positive comments about changing the car! Awesome.

3 years ago it was a bunch of "no's" and "I would have to see it first" or "not to my liking but its your car..."

How times have changed for the better!

 

2nd and 3rd owners are younger is my guess.

 

^this. PS Import did you finally get your tune dialed in?

*Thread derail intentional, but apologized for*

as far as the roof. I <3 flat black. so DO IT!

 

Once the car gets out of the shop ill take a better look on how everything flows. My buddy does vinyl work and would do the roof for $50 for labor. Not bad.

Do u guys know where i can get some good matte black vinyl that wont break the bank that would cover our roof portion?

 

Well, I'm 51 and the original owner of my car - yet I jumped right in and encouraged him to go for it. Some of us don't mind a few tasteful mods (and I happen to agree with the "stay away from the chrome" comments!!).

 

Chrome basher

 

If this was forum for late '50s Cadillacs I would not be bashing chrome. I just don't think it goes so well on these cars, especially when used liberally. So, yes, I'm a chrome basher.

And proud of it!!

 

I have the CF hood also and am gonna do a CF wrap on my roof and deck/spoiler also. Do you know yet whose material you are gonna use? I've read were 3M has a textured type wrap that sounds nice.

 

I'm 64 and the 2nd owner. Geez I bet da 1st owner was REALLY a geezer!

 

Have you considered spraying the roof yourself with Plasti Dip paint? If you don't like it you can peel it off and the cost would be minimal.

 

I think this would look awesome: Carbon Fiber Wrap - Carbon Fiber Vinyl - DINOC Carbon Fiber Vinyl Wrap

 

di-noc by 3m is probably the best on the market...

 

Thats what I used on the roof of my SRT, real nice stuff

 

I'm getting my roof and spoiler done in matte black vinyl soon as well. Should look great!

 

I'm actually just needing to find some time to get down to the vinyl shop to get the roof done. Hopefully in the next few weeks. I'll post pics up when I do.

 

I got to get some vinyl for the roof. What do u think the right measurements would be in ordering for the roof? Anyone know a good ebay vender that sells Flat Black vinyl?

Thanks.
