ummm last time I checked a 240SX and a 300ZX and a 350Z where not more expensive then an equal year MB ever. And the GTR may have CF but not as an aftermarket cf hood on every one with a illegal in them and a apc wing and chrome wheels seems to have. I think most are referring to aftermarket.
Number one thing people with S40 2.4i models (the crappy slow model not the T5 turbo) wanted a cf hood to make it faster via light weight, you coulda made the whole car outa cf with a 2.4 it would still be slow. Saying basically is it looks low income, and though a C isnt exactly 60K its not a car normal people buy or can afford to maintain, and purchase for under 4 grand total which is the price range of nissans and honda I see CF hood (most badly peeling) on

Looking good with the black gloss roof 
For what it's worth though, I personally like 35% tint. I think it looks classy and clean. 20% starts to look too dark, especially in contrast with the rest of your white car. If you have a black interior, it really helps the tint look darker as well.
Be really careful of who does the tint...I had a nightmare situation where I had to replace my entire back window with electronics because they got fried from the soapy water during the tint installation. BUT you probably already know this!

I say go tint Karo. You've got light interior so yours won't even be as dark as mine. Look how dark mine is compared to yours lol.

Or you could just come onto the forum and say it's all CF and Tint and post photos until you get flamed and busted.

Well right now my whole car is Matte Black. I finally did it!!! I'm waiting to buy a camera so I can post pics. I also converted my 7AT into a 6MT.
I almost forgot also my interior is all Gucci inside.
Ohh and I did the rear mount turbo....just a couple of minutes ago I smoked a M5 on the freeway. We opened up 180MPH!!!! It was insane.
Today I purchased an M3. Man I love it soo much. I took it to an Auto Cross. People were saying that it'[s a great car. Below is a pic that I just took right now.
Edit
I don't know how the VMR logo got there but this is really my car and I really just now took this pic.

^^ going through the photobucket account and disproving it is nothing compared to coming onto a website and lieing to a whole bunch of people you don't know about owning a car you don't to make yourself feel better, and that post you just made only continues to show your personal insecurity and immaturity
get over it kid
or get in the trunk of your 350 with AdidasC230 stamped on your forehead and the title to it in your hand
your call
sorry, back onto topic
I really like just the roof gloss black, for a while i was into the whole look (such as Taibao had? those pictures that i believe frankW posted in the other thread), but after a while it lost its appeal to me and seemed a little to overdone, at least on a W203 (i thnk itd look sexy on something sportier like the C63AMG)
i've been looking into getting my roof painted/vinyled as well, but paint was quoted at 330, vinyl was quoted at 17$ per square inch on the roof.. are these decent prices?

Wow. Adidas, you really can't complain and try to bash. Your car may have been auto crossing once or twice, but damn dude, don't be such a douche about it. You went once. You're not PROVEN. From your photos, you're just a cone killer. What's the matter? Forget that the the cone laying down points where to turn or where to stay inside of? Just because you've done something once, you're not an expert either. Heck, you seriously could have just posted about your auto crossing experience and we would have been much nicer.
So basically, simply change your sig, your info and stop being a douche. We can forget. Just don't live the lie man.

Ya Adidas, you are such a lie. Also my post with the M3 was a joke towards you. Thats how we all felt when you made claims and you posted your pic and got burned lool
Laughing at Mike's comment "Cone Killer" that's hilarious Mike!!!
For the record:
My car is stock, only have wheels and a front lip, the matte black and turbo was a inside joke me and Mike were having because we were mocking Adidas
Ya, you are right the gloss black will look better. I believe some people do the roofs for 150 - 180 these days but this is for average vinyl shops. If you want the best you have to pay 240 - 280.

OMG that must not be your car after 5 days of looking at it, I can now tell its not yours even though I own one and would be able to tell instantly from the exterior of the car that its not a 350. Wow I am so bored and have nothing else to do in Cali so I am going to go through some ones photo-bucket account and find pictures disproving something it took 5 days to notice, them I am going to drag it out for the next 7 years because I have no life and basically spend it on here trying to look like a rich little douche. Now if I could only know how to drive my car and maybe take any C class to auto x, maybe I wouldn't be talking out of my *** so much, but hey I discovered some one posted pics of a different car, every one congratulate me, esp people from california who is always known to have the best drivers like me in my 350 that again took 5 days to figure out doesn't look like a 230. Then after that Ill basically contribute nothing valid to boost my post count because I have nothing else to do and I want to be cool with 10k post in a year.

I don't think you get what happened here Nick!!!
You made a post lying that you had a C350 6MT. I did notice the brakes and I did find more pics that you did not post which I was able to prove it wasn't a C350 6MT. I was having doubts and when more members PMed me that's when I was able to get more pics again and expose you within 2 hours. It didn't take me 5 days like you claim but that's not what's important here. The most important thing is YOU LIED AND ADMITTED TO IT. Not only do you lose your credibility but you are still claiming you do have a C350 6MT which is only hurting you more. Where are the pics Nick?? Where is a pic of the contract? What is the VIN? Ya, you would auto cross the c230 but not the c350??
Cmon...you lied and you expect everything to be normal?

Also I hit 3 cones, I have driven FWD all my life and only auto x'd FWD so it was an extreme ajustment to go RWD and take off ESP, but thats why I went to the driver school to learn, and then did the points, day in which i came in first in my class, although there where only 3 cars and 2 where complete novices, have auto x'd many a time so prob not totally fair.

Im pretty sure even if I post pictures of a white C350 with my ID contract and VIN you would still call photoshop/bull****/lie, so what does it gain me, I been under the theory of keep moving on however, you dont you some how have a vendetta to make me admit I was wrong when you dont actually know or not if I have a C class, a MB or a car at all, I mean really how DO YOU know that C class I post pictures of is mine?
I just dont think if I said I lied you let it go, or if I proved it you would because well, you are acting like a dick about nothing that effects your real world life, No if I hit your wife and ran and lied about it, id say you would have a reason to have an issue with me, but now on the internet it really makes me wonder what your deal is.
Basically have an issue with me PM me, stop trolling the forums behind me, because you are never going to see a public apology ( I live life moving forward not living in the past) to you or a proof of anything because like I said, I dont trust/ believe your credible enough to even accept it if it was or wasn't real.
Funny how every one but the cali bunch aka every one you know has let it go. I mean that should show you something.
Let it go, I have and so has every one else so grow up and stop.

Don't give me that PM me crap. Don't act like you are some wise guy, you posted BS and i'm clowning on you that's all. I KNOW YOU DONT HAVE A 350 6MT so I don't need you to go and make up stories. So we'll just leave it at that. Also stop bringing Cali up. If you want, take a trip to Cali and i'll show you what we Calis are all about.
BTW you dont KNOW anything about what cars I own till you have met me, and seen my cars, and what I do and dont have. But whatever will be will be, you do you, ill do me.
