Default NEW MODS: Black Vinyl Roof, LTuned Sideskirts, LED Taillights. Must SEE.

Whats up everyone. I just got the roof on my Lexus done Black. Its a Black Vinyl but pretty much looks like it has been painted. Big thanks to Epic Images in Santa Rosa,CA for doing a great job. I also added LTuned sideskirts and LED tail lights about two months ago but never got to post pics.

The car is really dirty and these were quick pictures, nothing special. My roof spoiler is in the shop getting repainted Black. Pictures dont do justice.

So by demand, here is the BLACK ROOF!!

I love it, but to each their own.

I like it. Goes nice with your black and white theme. Nice work on not blacking out the tail lights. How much did it cost to get something like that done?

Its split into two pieces. There is a "minor" seam in the middle of the roof that cant really be seen. Edges look clean. Looks as if roof was painted.

that's pretty cool. if you decide you don't like it you can just peel it off.

when I read your title I thought you meant like this.

your fogs are very yellow, did you use overlays?
also, any plans to drop it a tad lower? how wide are your rears?

Me too! I was like damn, that's ballsy.

*edit - And yeah, that looks good on there. I've always liked the look of the Mercedes with the pano-roof where the whole roof was black...I wish I had a silver GS to do that on as I don't think it would look good on the blue.
