Default Panoramic roof some stripes on the hood be nice with the commentsl

I made this change to my car i like the roof and i like the hood how it looks i been having it for like a month didnt want to post pics because u guys are really hard with your opinions, sometimes everything has to be done in a certain way or its not good enough, im gonna take the risk and ask for opinions, here in bk people seem to like it but cl is another ball game, remember its vinyl so i can peel it off, here you go remember be nice!!! Lol


ps. im not the best picture taker so sorry for that one day i will learn the tricks pro's use, oh and i went flat black since everyone has the gloss i might change it to gloss black not sure yet

the hood looks good in flat black but...

you need gloss on the roof. with gloss it appears that the roof is actually tinted glass because it shines just like the tinted glass in the rear window. whereas it is obvious that the flat black isnt glass.

IMHO looks good just change the roof vinyl to gloss and you will be set.

EDIT: P.S. cant tell what that big thing by your real license plate it but whatever it is get rid of it

Not really a big fan of it over here, but to each their own.

Call me crazy, but I like the look of lowered GS's on stock wheels. Sunken battleship FTW!

Tinted side markers, different rims, and looks good. How hard was it to do the roof?

you got the Official badge next to the license plate!!! I got the judge PBA cards on the side of my windshield, Just in case these cops wanna bother us. Overall, I like the originality. I probably see a black grille and sportdesign/black headlights with tinted tails.

The flat black looks good but I think the hood looks incomplete. Maybe if you did the entire hood or the opposite of how you did it, it may look a little better IMHO.
