Does anyone know if anyone has done this? For a long time I've pondered what this would look like. With my rear roof spoiler it might look kinda cool, bulletproof or something haha. Any ideas ? ?

^ agree, try it on the ebay ones, just in case it doesn't work out, it won't be such an expensive "experience"

Good point. I think it would look good especially with the rear roof spoiler, but the chrome trim separating the hood from the visors might throw it off.

I tried it (in Photoshop) and am still not sure how it looks.
Maybe with the rear roof spoiler nd the panels between the front and rear windows in white also.
