Roof Vinyl On The RL

So I came across some pictures of my RL with the roof vinyl and I realize that I never posted them. Reason being is because I honestly didn't like how it turned out at all! Just doesn't fit the RL due to the lines of the roof not lining up and running plushly with rear window as the TL does so the day after installation, I took it off

lol like u said, u like any car with roof vinyl as long as its white or silver. zLines not lining up means the rear windows width is wider than the roof. So the vinyl doesn't plushly flow with the windows lines

Thanks for the pics RLCLAW. We had this discussion before in this thread: https://acurazine.com/forums/2g-rl-2005-2012-76/rl-panoramic-roof-look-black-vinyl-wrap-sheet-833222/, and the only photo I could come up with was photoshopped. It just doesn't flow with the style of the RL IMHO. The TL looks much better although I don't even prefer the look here either.

RL is too classy to have vinyl on the roof. Its panoramic roof or painted body color in my opinion. Just my though
