Default Anyone with a Atomic Silver Black gloss Roof?

Hey guys, new to the forum, I just purchased a 2015 RC 350 F-Sport, Atomic Silver with a red interior a few days ago. One of the first things in looking to do is wrap all the chrome trim and roof in gloss black, possibly the spoiler as well, I have googled this combo and have some idea of what it may look like but just wanted to see if anyone on here has done this with the Atomic silver and could provide more detailed pics. I'm in the DFW Area, so if anyone has any suggestions on where I should get my car wrapped please let me know! Can't wait to hear from you guys!

Now that I think about it, I havent seen any atomic silver cars with a blacked out roof.

I think it would look better without the black roof. Atomic silver is just one of those colors that does not need it, like USB or a nebula gray but thats just my opinion. The chrome trim wrapped in black always looks good though

I personally think silver and black accents go great together.

They didn't have silver when I got mine, so I went with Nebula, otherwise there would have been a good chance that I'd have gotten that color too. I know someone with a silver CTS-V coupe who has done the same vinyl jobs on his and it looks fantastic.

I've been looking into the exact same vinyl work on my car but seems like all my local shops are just out to rip me off with outrageously high quotes.I'm in the DFW area as well, so if you find a good shop, please let me know!

For anyone with an atomic silver RC... I pulled the trigger on the gloss black roof and I couldn't be more pleased with this decision. Here are the results.

IMO every color looks better with a gloss black roof or a real panoramic roof which we are all trying to replicate. The pics of the silver RC above look amazing!
