C300 4MATIC (w204)
my Flat Black Roof

I bought a Flat Black Roof Kit off ebay a few weeks ago and finally had some time to install it. It took about 2 - 2 1/2 hours and some trimming, but it came out very clean! I got a sweet deal too because I promised the seller I would send him some photos they could use. I included some extra picture of the car. Let me know what you guys think.

How is it going to do in the hot sun where you live? I'd be concerned about it peeling up at the edges, etc.

Looks good, I like the flat black, and it might be a good color for the hood too!

It can't peal on the edges. Everything is tucked under the weather stripping for a super clean look. They told me the wrap material is rated for outdoor use @ 6-7 year without any color fade.

thanks everyone for the comments! Everyone who's seen it in person asks if i had it painted. I just followed the directions on installing it proved by the seller and it turned out perfect.

I paid $69 and got a refund on my free shipping ($10 value) because I sent them my photos.

it looks very good. :drool:
any chance the seller comes with glossy version?

btw, i just saw this product on ebay, and you might want to ask the seller to delete your license plate.

"Flat Black Roof Kit - 08' 09' C Class W204(C300,C350,C63)
Matte/Flat black roofs are the rage right now and gives your ride a sporty and customized look! Why pay $500+ to get your roof painted, when you can do it for a fraction of the price! Our Flat Black Roof Kit is easy to install and gives your ride a whole new look. We use the best quality Flat/Matte Black vinyl, and when you are tired of the look, its easily removed. Give your car that distinctive and modified look!"


from the ebay link above.


what kinda tools did you use for this? what was tha procedure?
i'm guessing it's something like puttin on window tints...
