I would LOVE to get my car wrapped up Matte black or even better Matte Grey if you have it.

Would love to see a silver SL55 with pano roof where the pillars and any other silver paint around the roof is wrapped in black gloss.

Similar to how this one looks:

Yes, that would be pretty cool. I was actually just talking to a guy who's car I was wrapping yesterday about it. I've had some Subaru owners inquire about it, but none of them ever went through unfortunately.

Installed gloss black vinyl on this white IS300. Car was from Anaheim/Orange County. The car had a carbon fiber trunk that was tinted/painted lightly black, to give the weave a more subtle effect.

These pictures will show those of you who've asked how a black roof looks like with a roof spoiler that's not black and still left body colored.

Here are some pictures of a white E92 BMW 335i that I vinyl wrapped the roof in gloss black vinyl. The car came up to me in Irvine from south orange county. Don't mind the antenna, I didn't put the antenna cover for it back on yet when I took these pictures.

Here are pictures of tail lights that I tinted on a darker graphite colored C230 mercedes benz. The owner came from Glendale down to me in Orange County. I tinted the white turn signals on the tails, the turn signals on the side mirrors, and the amber reflector/light on the front bumper.

Here are pictures of the tail lights on a black E60 BMW 535XI that I tinted/smoked with a vinyl/film. Pictures are with the parking lights on, to show you how much light still shows/shines through the material. Owner of the car drove out to me in Orange County to get it done. Let me know what you guys think.

Here's a C300/C350 (don't remember which one it was exactly) that I did some tail light work on. I did a gloss black outline on his tail lights, similar to the tail lights that comes on the Brabus C classes. The owner of this car was from Long Beach, and I happened to be out in that area from Orange County, so I dropped by to do his tail lights for him. I also applied gloss black vinyl over his chrome rear trunk handle to add to the gloss/black theme.

Here's a stock photo of the tail light, to give a better side by side comparison of how it looked before/after.

Here are pictures of this white Nissan 350z that I vinyl wrapped his roof in gloss black. I think the owner of this car came up from San Diego to me in Orange County to have it done. The gloss black vinyl on his roof went well with his black face wheels and other black accents on the car, like the front lip/bumper.

Some quick pictures of a BMW E60 530, I believe, that I vinyl wrapped (bmw shadowline) the chrome window trim on in a matte black finish. The owner of this car came out from Long Beach to me in Orange County to have it done. Everything was done seamlessly, even around the rear door's curves, just like all of my wraps.

Here are pictures of a silver E55 AMG Mercedes that I vinyl wrapped the roof with in gloss black material. The owner of this car came down from Malibu to me in Orange County to have it done. It's good to know that gloss black vinyl roofs don't just look good on white cars only, but on other colors as well

Here are pictures of some tail lights that I tinted with my vinyl/material film in a gunsmoke shade on a blue E60 530i I believe. The owner of this car drove from Fullerton out to me in Orange county to have it done. The tint really toned the tail lights down to flow with the rest of the car fairly well.

Here are pictures of an Lexus ISF that I vinyl wrapped the roof in the 3M Di-noc material. As you can kind of see in some of the pictures, from a distance away, the material will almost give you a matte/flat black look. However, as you get closer to it, you'll be able to see the design and weave of the cf vinyl appear. The owner of this car came out to me in Irvine/Orange County. Hopefully these pictures will also help give an idea of how the 3M di noc carbon fiber material looks like on darker car and cars with sunroofs.

Some pictures of a white E46 M3 that I vinyl wrapped the roof in gloss black. The owner of this car lived around Westminster/Orange County. The owner of this car parks it outside quite a bit, so with the vinyl roof, it'll end up help protect the roof/paint from weathering. Don't mind the pictures. It was a bit dark when I took the pictures, so that's why some of the pictures may look a bit different/off.

Yes, however, I'd need better/more detailed pictures to see how well it really is wrapped. I usually do not wrap grills with the emblem in the center like that.

Here's pictures of a car you don't see too often, or at least I don't. I applied a gloss black vinyl roof on this 1 series BMW E82. The car belonged to a fellow Irvine/Orange County resident. I also did his window trim in matte black vinyl, which I'll post up some more detailed pictures of those later. Also don't mind the antenna cover, I didn't put it back on yet before I took the pictures.

Let me know if you guys have any other specific requests, and I'll see if I have any of those kinds of pictures, of if I can take them the next time I do it.

Here's a white BMW E90 335i sedan's roof that I did a while ago with gloss black vinyl. This will help those who have roof spoilers already painted/body color and want to get black vinyl roofs to see how it'll look if they left it. The owner of this car was from Garden Grove/Orange County, I believe.

I ended up wrapping his roof spoiler later on, but wasn't able to take pictures of it with it on the car.

Here's pictures of the same 1 series that I vinyl wrapped the roof in gloss black vinyl in. These are closer/more detailed pictures of his window trim that I also vinyled in a matte black material/finish, to cover up the old chrome/aluminum finish. Everything is done seamlessly in as a single piece.

Here's an Audi B8 tail lights that I tinted/vinyled in a smoke tint shade. I also cut out the reverse light portions for him. Come to me in Orange County to get it done.

I thought it turned out very nice and went fairly well with the rest of his car.

Every once in a while, I get a car that's not white, haha. I did this Subaru WRX for Puente Hills Subaru, to get it ready for SubieFest (that tells you how long it takes for me to post some of these pictures), which was in November.

I wrapped the roof in the 3M di-noc carbon fiber material. It turned out very nicely. This is for those of you who were asking me how the black 3m dinoc carbon fiber vinyl looks like on a roof with cars that have a sunroof.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Forgot to post the pictures of the tail lights to that Puente Hills Subaru WRX that I also did that day. I vinyled/tinted the tails in a red film, with the reverse sections cut out.

Just as a visual, this is what they looked like, to show how drastic the improvement is.

It's been a while since I posted some pictures. Been busy getting some of my own stuff done lately, but I am starting to finally have time again.

Here's pictures of an E46 that I vinyl wrapped the roof in the gloss black material. I believe this car belonged to a fellow Irvine/Orange County person as well. This is a change of pace from the 95% of white colored cars that I do. It'll give you guys a slightly better idea of how it looks on different/darker colors. It's noticeable, but still subtle at the same time from different/various angles.

I have so many pictures to go through, and a lot of cars that I did that I really like. I guess I have to start somewhere. This car was another fellow Irvine/Orange County enthusiast. I vinyl wrapped his roof in gloss black material. His rails were already matte black, so we left those alone. I think I did this car earlier this year in January, just to give an idea how far back some of my pictures that I still have yet to post goes, haha.
