I saw Javy's car as well. Vinyl looks pretty nice plus its a whole lot cheaper than painting it. At least you can take it off if you want to in the future. Make sure you go to a shop that can make it look nice. If you are in socal, go to where Javy went...Promax Motorsport. They have a M6, 750 and 330 with black vinyl tops and they all look nice.

Vinyl is for records, not your car.

Get it painted.

yo the thing about paint is that it will lower the value of ur car if u decide to sell it later on cus its not the factory paint..... id choose vynal not because paint cost more but its beter in the future if u decide to take it off u have that option
