Question Anyone... wrapped their roof in black?

Well... anyone on here done it?

Cars silver, but the ES has a weird roof line - in the sense that its all one piece and no break in between the roof and seams of the A/B/C pillar like in the GS that has trim running between the a/b/c-pillar and roof to 'separate it'.

I might do it regardless. If it looks dumb i'll trash it

Yea... might be an issue you could quickly photo edit some pics to get a better feel of what would look good.

i think without those body seams and trim to beak it up, it would look like a bad sticker job.

yeah, that's what i was just thinking now... not worth photo shopping and the whole two-tone thing out of the factory

If anything i think i'm gonna have the car wrapped in the future.

Maybe it might look OK, if you wrapped it up in the same color as the bottom part of the car. Just an idea that I'm throwing out there.

It would turn the interior into an oven in the summer. I guess no worse than a black car, but still...

I think wrapping his car is going to take a back seat to getting it fixed now. Well maybe wrapping will fix it..
