LF Monaco blue with gloss black roof

Cuba · 05-17-2011, 05:51 PM

Thinking of doing a gloss black roof on my monaco e90. But I am unsure if the roof would even be noticeable on a dark colored car. I tried searching for some pics but finding a modded monaco blue car is a challenge let alone one with a gloss roof.

If you have a pic please post it up.

Please comment if this is a good idea or not.

Thanks

I thought about doing this as well, but wound up deciding it was too aggressive of a look for this paint color.

Do you think it would even be that noticeable unless you took a good look?

I thought about this as well, I think it won't be so noticeable since our cars are rather dark. It mostly suits lighter colored car better, but a carbon fiber roof with a sunroof delete will look better in my opinion.

Do CF over black....the paint is too dark for black to look good. CF will stand out

I considered it.. but I don't think it'd be noticeable at all because monaco is so dark.

+1 I also have monaco blue. but decided not to since can't really see it, and save that money towards other mods. Even thought about doing carbon vinyl, but it would make the moon roof stand out. So held off on that too.

I personally think it looks best on lighter colors (alpine white and space grey come to mind) but I'm sure it'll look good on any color- besides black
