I did a gloss black overlay this past weekend. Then I found this thread. I personally think it looks great. And if you don't have the cash to pay for paint, you can't go wrong with Vinyl. Its cheaper, and if you end up not liking it personally, you can always remove it. Plus it protects the paint underneath it from the elements so if you do remove it, the paint will still look pristine underneath.

Or you can just order it from Bluebatmobile.net which will already be cut to the exact shape of your car.

BTW, be careful that you don't purchase the 3m Dinoc carbon fiber if you plan on putting it on your roof. It is not recommended for automotive use, and definately not for automotive exterior use.

^ either would suffice ...i think both ideas are hot .....i still dread the fact that my WDP 06 started acting up after 3 years ...and i babied it ....but that's what happens when you get a used car it's a chance you take


i wanted to black the roof or carbon fiber .....also was trying to find a carbon fiber hood ....didn't know if i wanted to do the trunk also was undecided on that ...but definitely wanted to take all the symbols off the trunk except for the A.........alot of plans for that TL alot of plans.........

I would say go for it .......
