matte blacked roof..

fmxomar · 01-02-2009, 01:47 AM

vinyl of course. take a look

hansenc · 01-02-2009, 02:01 AM

Hmm I'm not sure I like it or not. I think its something I would have to see in person before doing it.

With the way the sun is here in FL I'm sure it would look like crap on my car in a year or so.

How hard was it to apply?

Panda FTW.

Needes better pics

Lester · 01-02-2009, 07:30 AM

With the wheels and roof all black, I think the mirrors should be black as well. They somehow don't look right in white. We need better pics and a clean car, though.

Looks promising, definitely need some better pics.

This is one of the few setups that the BMW "Performance Stripes" might actually go well on.

BForbes · 01-02-2009, 07:59 AM

Do matte black cars swirl or chip? Just curious.

Convertible · 01-02-2009, 10:59 AM

Looks good!

Matte black cars would swirl and chip just like any other paint, but this is a vinyl decal. It will more likely rip from a rock than swirl or chip I believe.

Of course you can replace it anytime, or peel off to reveal nicely protected AW.....

o dont worry i have something planned :thumbup: and its not all black caps or bmw carbon caps

morscode · 01-02-2009, 06:20 PM

Looks great! I want to do the same to mine, but probably in a semi gloss but I would want to retain the roof rack brackets. I'm afraid it will start peeling if it's cut around the bracket.

you can cut around it and tuck it in so the the roof brackets still pop open i didnt bother to do it cus i wont use them

M3Newbie88 · 01-02-2009, 07:53 PM

More pics please..

larryn · 01-02-2009, 08:03 PM

Agree. Love to see more outdoor pics. Garage pics do not give a good feel for the car.

ToXiC · 01-02-2009, 08:22 PM

Looks pretty cool. I think I speak for everyone when I say more pics lol.

nope special ordered it at a local shop. its wide enough to do the whole thing without a seam in the middle. I think bluebatmobile's have a line going down the middle

Gigolas · 01-04-2009, 10:38 AM
