Seriously, I would love to do my Type S in this. I'm remodeling my kitchen and master bath-otherwise I would give it a try! I'd do either flat black or the carbon fiber on the entire car.

OP, I love your flat blackedness! It's about time some one else did this instead of high gloss. I'm still waiting on some one to throw a white vinyl overlay on the roof to be different lol. I just did my trunk bezel Saturday, except I went with paint.


Sorry to threadjack OP

Sameer, its actually pretty easy. it just takes time.
I think steven bell posted a thread of some guy doing his whole bmw in a matte black vinyl without any experience. it took him like a whole week?

I like it but im a fan of FB too
I don't like the rear license plate as much though. I think that would look better stock or in carbon fiber.

I actually photoshop that a while ago and I think it would be pretty cool myself

I totally agree. I would have done black paint with clear like other auto makers are doing. The do black w/clear to blend with the glass sun roof.

Don't think primer black, think of it as stealth black.

I was wondering the same thing.

I like the look. I would love to see someone doing this all the way or just have a car painted this color completely just to see what it would look like.

Was it hard to do the antenna cover? Does the antenna cover come off when you pull it?
