Did you use flat black vinyl on your roof? Doesn't seem to match up well with the sunroof. More pics!

In the grand scheme of things, no, it's really not. BUT he's done all of that stuff within a month.

It took me a year and a half to do the A-Spec kit and a drop. Plus I just got my black roof put on a few months ago

Unfortunately it all hails in comparison to my grad school tuition.

It's absurd.

Thanks bud.

How funny that everyone likes the one thing I'm changing about the car...the CF roof. It's likely coming off and getting redone with gloss black vinyl. I think it will look better but we'll see.

Lol...sorry to disappoint Swoosh. I think you didn't fully read the post related to this 'surprise'. See my post below in the thread for my roof and it'll clarify things...

I think it will look good with the new mirrors...wrapped or not.

Lol, no I'm jk but I do plan on changing my side mirrors to the '07-'08 style. I will likely wrap them before I install them. Not sure how it's going to look so we'll have to wait and see.

Thanks Mr. Bell!

Yeah as i said before the CF roof started to grow on me but I'm just 'bored' with it already, plus it's a relatively easy and inexpensive change so I'm not too concerned. I can go back to CF if for some reason I don't like the gloss black as much as I think I will.

It's possible to do it yourself...I did the side pillars myself, however the roof I didn't want to risk so I had assistance on that. I did order the material myself though. I got it at wholesale so obviously I took that route.

The car looks good but Michigan sucks. Go Buckeye's.
I plan on doing my hood, roof, trunk and the black trim on my kinetic blue type S. I already have graphite wheels so I think the carbon fiber look will be a nice compliment. Good looking car though.
