Default Panoramic roof look non Pano car

I missed out on a panoramic roof on my purchase as i couldn't afford the feature so i settled on a moonroof. Anyone have any success story on adding a black vinyl on the roof of their RX to give that panoramic look. What's a good price for it . I posted pictures of what i am talking about.

It can be done. I do it fairly commonly enough for cars and SUVs that come with the chrome/silver roof racks.

Alexus, I'm not sure I'm fully understanding you......there's still no pano roof view from inside the car and no one can see it from the outside. Not getting the point......

Its cosmetic it won’t be a pano but it would give the cool black roof look. Most ppl won’t notice or care but when you do mods you don’t do them for attention but because you notice them, and you like them (my case anyway). As far as being seen it is noticeable to anyone that stands in front or next to the suv, will they consider it cooler now that’s clearly up for debate.

It won't have a panoramic view from the interior but the outside will look like it . And yes you can definitely see it from the outside. Im barely 5'8 and can easily see the top of the roof , more so if i am standing in front of the car.

It's definitely a cosmetic thing. I see it on other RX's while driving and in stock pictures and i regret not getting it. The white pearl with the gloss black or real panoramic roof really makes the car pop . It's just my preference but i feel like i need it done. Just worried about my extanded warranties and the permaplate i got duuped in purchasing .

A wrap is a sticker it won’t affect anything. When it’s time to sell/trade in/return lease it comes off easily. It might need to be cleaned and waxed if there’s any residue left from the wrap but it will expose a preserved like new surface.

I have permaplate or that clear film to protect your car paint that was sold by the dealership . Will that affect it in any way and will removing the vinyl wrap get stuck to the clear film. Like for example you put sticky tape on top of sticky tape they both stick to each other and hard to remove

Love the black roof look. I know that it is simply cosmetic but if you are looking for that pano roof look, I would high recommend it. Also, the vinyl protects the paints from nature as well.

Pano glass does not cover the whole roof. The back end will still be same paint as the car.

Well the good thing about this panoramic roof stick-on is that it won't shatter. Send pictures when you have it done.
