Me neither, especially when they have the carbon fiber look. Previous car was an EVO X with a full replacement carbon roof by AMS. Locally we have a few BMW fellas that have roof vinyl, just never understood it.

Up close, the vinyl will never look (to me) like the real deal. But good luck with whatever decision you do make.

Will look nice!

BTW your car looks good already the way it sits. Did you bake your headlights to get the amber piece out? Or purchase aftermarket headlights that come clear?

Will get the wheels painted Gunmetal eventually.. I think that will suit the shadowline trim with the VO.

What is more durable.. Painted wheels or powder coated?

I hear powder coated is more durable though I am sure someone with more knowledge can answer that.
