Hey Peeps,

After reading all the "poser bashing" in this forum, it appears that I have a little "poser-ism" in me as well. So I decided to paint my roof black to go for the pano look. What do you guys think?

slacker55

And is it just me....or does it look like the left drip rail is sticking up a little?

( black strips on the right and left sides of the roof )

black roof is cool, but I'm not feeling the black spoiler.

slacker55

Yeah...I'm not too sure about it either, but I figured I'd have the shop paint it along with the roof to get an idea of how a dark spoiler will look before spending big bucks on CF one.

roof looks good, can you achieve the same look with vinyl?

BenzoBoi

I like it...

Looks good, I like the wheels too.

I heard that it's been done, but I'm not sure if it will be the same. Being the **** person that I am, I decided that it's probably best to just paint it.

Besides...I don't give a sh** about the resale value so I might as well experiment right?

Looks good, but you need to get the trunk emblems in the right place. They are too high

I don't know how Mercedes puts them on - they use some type of template - it was actually shown on a video I saw somewhere (I think Mercedes TV on their web site showed the factory install them in a very short clip in a video). That would bug the crap out of me as I can spot moved emblems from a mile away! It's always easy to tell if a Merc has had paintwork on the trunk or been debadged in a previous life because the letters/numbers are not spaced correctly or not at the right level.

I would like to know how Mercedes expects someone to reinstall them if they are ever removed. Is there a tool available that anyone knows of?

Roof looks good!

looks good...paint the side marker black if not get it painted to match your car...and pull the bulb...

Neoii

I like the roof but like a few others, I'm not feeling the spoiler.

How much did painting the roof cost?

slacker55

Actually, I'm getting the eurostrip to get rid of the sidemarker completely. But from what I hear, the sidemarker bulbs cannot be removed and still need to be placed somewhere...
