Hawt!!! The tint's added alot to your car. Goes well now with the black accents on your wheels.

So question....

I just got my rear roof spoiler...

My thoughts:

1. Paint roof black and spoiler black to flow with the tinted windows and I like the roof line on this car. Only draw back I see is you may not see the spoiler unless up close.

2. Paint the spoiler Matador Red and just leave it as is??

I am trying to get rid of all/any chrome trim on this car. Sorry I hate it Probably have black trim everywhere so this was also my thinking with the black roof theme.

What do you think??

i am not a fan of painted roof. if it's panorama or cf roof, cool, otherwise i don't know

and about the roof spoiler, being black doesn't really affect it, as long as it sticks out. people can see my roof spoiler all the time and my car is black and windows tinted

I must say I was pretty bummed when I went back but its done and over with and I spoke to the guys at Work in CA and all is good.
What place was this? I think I would have wrote to HQ and told them how you were treated. Wasn't even your fault. I want to make sure I never end up there. I might want to look for some tires for my STS soon.

Default Updated pics

Added the roof spoiler and also had the front painted black to get rid of 99% of the chrome. I am very pleased with the way it turned out.







Thanks to Gytis for a great job
