Any of you guys ever thought to paint the roof black?
Give the panoramic looks, I was thinking to do this.
What you guys think?

I was looking into this.
Saw it done in the TL section with a vinyl sticker and it looked official i was thinking bout trying that to see how it looks before i go with the painting.

I assumed that you have wdp RL?
This would look nice on white car, I don't know about Silver color.

wdp?
I got a white RL.
I wish panoramic roof was an option. its looks good on every car i see.
It might still look good in silver.
black roof and that Mugen spoiler with the carbon fiber showing in the back...that might work.
I went to a spot to see about that sticker but dude said it wasnt worth it to do it cause the sticker would get damaged.
But people put stickers on there car all the time ..this just didnt make sense that i went to an auto vinyl sticker shop and he told me to paint instead of vinyl stickers.

I think it would look best with white cars. When I see the E classes with a sport pack in white with panoramic roof,

This would only look good on a white RL. On other colors....blech.

Actually I did that on my. Instead of painting it, I just put a big sheet of black vinyl. Can't really tell because my is graphite gray.

Any pics?
Do you have any bubbles? I was thinking to put vinyl but they said it might not really clean, so I have a buddy that own a body shop that can paint it for cheap and clean.

I will post some pic later this afternoon. Actually I thought about doing vacumed CF overlayed. But since my car is a lease I try not to go that crazy. I had a friend did CF overlayed on his MB CLS and looks very nice.

Here is his car.

Interesting, any idea how much this will cost?

The only car I saw it on was the new white M3 at my local BMW dealership. It looked good but that was a coupe, I don't know about a sedan, I would have to see it to pass judgement. Things that look good on coupes and sports cars don't necessarily translate well on a sedan, it's a preference.

Since you are in Seattle. My friend had his car done there. Shop is call CarNutz and it is at Bellevue.

What car that he drive? I saw CLS on their shop with the carbon fiber roof like 3 months ago.
I don't know about carbon fiber though prefer black but well it's people preference I guess.

Here is my roof top vinyl overlayed. Kinda of hard to see since my RL is graphite gray.

You're right. The pictures really don't show your top very well. Even in the closeup, the difference is subtle. I'm sure the difference would be better with different lighting, and is remarkable in person.

Since I have a black car, I guess I don't have to worry about this mod!
