The front and rear turned out great, but not a fan of the black roof. The ride looks outstanding!

I will say the black roof looks good from a distance until the up close pics reveals it is matte. Just a question...do you just randomly pull off on the side of the road and take pics lol

Could have done a gloss but I prefer matte these days.

as for the pics I stopped to take pics of a big **** gator in one of the retention ponds in my development and as I walked back to the car i decided to take a few pics

Should have called gator boys. Did Fonzie from dip your car do the roof?

Man I love the black top and the black front to match... I would do it.. But I would want a glossy finish for mine.. Is it possible that I can have an auto shop paint the front over the sensors or is that not recommended? I just dont know for sure...Thats why I ask....

100 is about the same price to get it wrapped, and its glossy and durable!

the wrap was going to cost closer to 300 as that is what i originally was going to do. Once i got to the shop they were concerned that they could not wrap the antenna and i had no interest in leaving it white so i went another route.

the plastidip installer i used gave me the option to do a gloss or a satin but that is not the look i was going for.
