Some pictures on a 997 GT3 that I wrapped the 3M Di-Noc CF with, on the roof and spoiler element. Let me tell you, it looked hot! Haha. The car was less than 24 hours old, off of the dealership lot.

Haha, like I said. Get a group of you guys interested, and I'll do it :P

So many white cars, but I don't blame them, the black roofs do look best on white colored cars:

Gloss black -

Some before and after pictures. This is the first time I've taken pictures before applying the vinyl roof, so it'll give you guys somewhat of an idea of how it looks like.

Gloss black:

That TL is looking good man. I just picked one up just like that last night. You've got me pondering on it now.

Here's pictures of an E46 that I did the window trim in matte black, tinted the red portions of the tail lights, and did gloss black on the roof and his roof spoiler:

Don,
Can you post some pics up of a W204 with the roof done up? Your work is nice and all the cars are clean. But this is a W204 forum and don't see any pics of this vehicle posted up.

Not a Mercedes or even a Euro car, but I am curious to if any of you guys would ever consider doing a matte finish on your car. Just interested in hearing/seeing some opinions on this from benz owners, since it seems more of a Subaru thing:

Matte black -

I've had mine matte for about a year...I like it. Gloss and CF would seem to much esp for my color.

I think matte works better on darker colors, where gloss on a darker colors would go almost unnoticeable.

Got pictures of your roof chubbs?

Installed gloss black vinyl on the window trim of this E46 M3 and tinted his tail lights.

I probably should have done a better job of cleaning the window trim before taking the pictures. There's palm/finger prints from me installing all over it, haha.

Don, you're a true artist! Your work is stunning!

Do you have any pics of the 3M Di-noc silver?
How does it look compared to the 3M Di-noc carbon?
