Okay, so Idk if everyone is familiar with BlueBatmobile's vinyl overlay stuff, he's done a bunch of stuff for TSX'ers and TL'ers (3g+) and all of his stuff looks awesome!

So I was wondering..I've always liked the way the roof overlays looked on the TSX and TLs...and thought..why not on the CL?

Anyone want to try and see if we can get some made? I already emailed him and asked..





What ya think?

AcuredCLS

its ugly..if you do a search..black roof? something like that you will find a bunch of photoshops on a whole bunch of color schemes...i think it looks nice on the tsx...the nav antenna should be blacked out though imo...im pretty sure it doesnt look good on the CL...my friends got it on his vw jti, cept he actually had the roof painted black, not just a vinyl...

Onese1f

To each his own I guess, I happen to think it would look pretty cool lol

evan03CL

eh, i think it only looks good with a carbon hood. especially with a carbon trunk.

how much would these run tho?

(and...is it just vinyl? how about he hooks up a carbon overlay?)

Onese1f

The standard ones cost around $60-70 bucks, and I haven't asked him about carbon overlays yet but I'm sure he'll be able to!

I agree tho, I think if you have a c/f hood/trunk already, or even black wheels this would look pretty dope

All my friends have always had theirs actually painted.

Guess it's kinda hard to see from this shot.

I think it looks awsome I would do it but my car is black if my car were white or red I would put an over lay on

evan03CL

inquire about carbon overlays

(not cheap "dot matrix" fake carbon fiber, but a real overlay) see what he says

It will look like absolute dog on the CL. The roof line is too far in on the top.

If your looking to lay down some vinyl then pick up a fellers catalog.Worlds largest vinyl seller.They have it all.including the carbon that your looking for.They sell it in a wet or dry look, uv coated.

Been thinking of doing a vinyl overlay for a while but this is what keeps stopping me.

MrFluffy

Dont listen to him people are always going to say that it looks like shit

then there are people that are going to say it looks good

you should make a decision on if you think it would look good I think it would look great on a CL

I was going to do something for the roof only if I decided to pick up the CF trunk.

Yeah see if he can add it to his vinyl line-up...that would be cool to have more options.

I never try to stop people from making stuff for our cars since there isn't much out there.


On another note...

Yeah I just checked out their site...

Crazy amount of shit but didn't find their site very user friendly.

Ned customer #'s this or that and PDF catalog for non-customers doesn't have very much vinyl in it.

They stuff I saw looked good though.

Ralphie917

all the photoshops ive seen make it look like turds ...

the roof lines dont flow back and to the side as well as they do on the TSX and TL --- your gonna have a nice subtle design starting at the bottom of the CL widnshield, but once it hits the top your primary vehicle color is going to jut inwards and look like shit.

It would look good if our roof lines followed the windshield and rear window lines (like the TL and TSX), but they dont, so it wont look good.

^ Something I'm begining to notice on closer inspection lol



Still asking about the carbon though!

Wish people would respond to their emails faster

That's one HUUUGE sticker. I like seeing them on the white, red and silver cars but how funny would it be if somebody put a British flag on their roof like the coopers or the Ohio's colors. ha ha

I like it........at least on the TL or TSX. Never seen it on a cl

yea their site does pretty much suck but the catalog itself is amazing.I know a guy who does wraps in next town that let me borrow the book.I almost got my car completly custom wraped.And thats some crazy stuff.I was turned off because life span in the sun was rated by months.But top company.

a friend of mine locally got his white tsx's roof painted black and it looks awesome.
i'd definately do it, specially with white color.

Onese1f

The flag thing would be wayyyyy too much lol

I have an AM CL, so I think the black would contrast nicely with the gray. If the roofline weren't so bad I would be way more enthused

evan03CL

mine is AM as well.

check on this CF overlay....does he have pics?

Onese1f

Of the CF overlay? No

But I'm still waiting for a response and in the meantime checking out those aforementioned links ^

I actually thought about this as well, then I came to th realization that this was NOT meant for the CL.

Onese1f

Well whether you are for this or not, I have gotten BlueBatMobile to agree on making one for a tester car! So if you are interested in having this done and live near San Diego, email him at bluebatmobile@san.rr.com and he'll see about making some for us and the 2gTL guys!

MrFluffy

Can someone photo shop A picture of a CL with a roof over lay???

Onese1f

^ I think its already been done...search for it

I just e-mailed him, hopefully he gets back to me.

Onese1f

The turnaround took like 2-3 days but he will get back to you!

Guess it is a cheaper way of doing the two-tone paint.

I love the carbon fiber roof on the new M3. Especially in white. With red leather.

MMMmmmmmmmmmmm

evan03CL
