Just got a gloss black wrap on the roof and antenna. Next plan is tint to complete the look.

 

Looks great man! But you NEED to tint that rear windshield asap to complete the look.

 

I totally am in agreement or things dont flow correctly. Looks good.

 

Yeeeeah I know lol. I plan to do it very soon. I'll post pics when it's all done.

 

damn son....turned out great....am liking the look....and yeah gotta tint the rear windshield a little darker....

 

20% should be perfect for ya. also gloss black the trunk. like a thick racing stripe all the way back. its a mullet, business in the front() dont tint your front windshield, and party in the back!

 

Looks great man, with the tint it will be perfect Great performance mod!

 

make sure your tint shop tints the third brake light. looks good though

 

I wonder who will be the first to do this on a darker car, like grigio/pmm/vortex

 

Legit. I like it

 

Someone did it on pmm already lol

 

OP, looks good man


i thought about doing it to my GLM but i dont think its noticeable

how much was this haircut anyways? isnt it like $300-400 for materials/installation?

 

I think it would look good on a vortex but not grigio/GLM

 

i think vortex looks too nice to be covered

 

Thanks man, I'm definitely making sure thats covered... Ive seen someone with the tan interior get one without the 3rd light covered and it's just wrong... Even with my ebony interior I want that covered. P.S. - Ordered my exLEDusa kit

I dont know if it would work so well on darker colors... Honestly it's not very apparent from a standing view during the day on my PSM because it's a similar gloss, which is another reason I really need to get the tint on there. Would be interesting to see though.

I got it done for $265 out-the-door for the roof and antenna. They used 3M 1080 vinyl.

I don't think I can go below 35%. I asked the shop about it and aparrently MD law states that 35% is enforced for all windows. It's a black interior though so it will still work. Whats really annoying is that MD allows SUVs and vans to do ANY tint for the rear and back seat , 35 only for the driver and front passenger; but a sedan has to be 35 all around ... I dont get the logic there. SUVs have more space to hide stuff. Im tempted to go lower on the rear anyway because I'll probably be moving to Canada soon.

 

yea its 35% all around. hey for us in jersey its 70% in the front and any in the back, so our fronts are just illegal. i have 35 in the front, 20 on the back windows and windshield. only gotten 1 ticket knock on wood

 

I dig it! Funny how things look odd at first, then you get used to it & like it.

 

Nice! Hopefully I'll see you in 270 sometime! Or get stuck on the Beltway! :-p

 

busyb, where in MD are you? Look like we both bought our TSXs from Rosenthal.

 

i had my roof plastidiped but took it off


btw it looks awesome on the silver tints will complete the look

 

did you like it tobwac?

 

Haha yeah I'll def be stuck on the beltway hahaha. Look for the weird roof

Haha nice man, I'm from Gaithersburg. Rosenthal's a great dealership! I checked out your build thread man. Impressive!

Thanks man! Yeah I can't wait to get it all done!

 

it wasnt bad but not the best i did it so i can see how it would look on PMM if i was gonna do it again i will go with glossy or cf

 

^ ahh it was you with the black roofed pmm! it looked pretty good tbh but i agree. gloss black !!
