Default Poll: Panoramic roof

I have a GS350 F sport and hated the fact that it doesn't have the panoramic roof option like the ES.

A friend of mine has one and always said I wasted my money on a GS when it's practically the same like an ES but more $$$. He optioned his to get the panoramic roof which is pretty sweet.

My question is for you guys who have done it is would you rather vinyl wrap it or plasti-dip? THey both have to be shiny and not matte to mimic a paint or glass look?

Here's a top view of the ES






Keep in mind I have an obsidian black with black interior by the way.
Sorry for the blurry picture. It was slightly overcast this morning and was rushing to work.

MODERATOR: I wasn't sure if this should be in the GS section or the Car chat section to garner more people viewing and voting.

To be honest Chris, I just don't see the point of a panoramic roof look if you are not getting any extra sunlight inside your car.

Btw, did you explain to your friend how different the ES and GS are to drive ?

Just tell your friend he needs to do his homework before starting talking, aka read CL 4th Gen GS section. If you don't know already, your GS is a mile a head of the ES. Except rear room, mpg, floaty ride (+ or -) and lower cost, I can't think of anything else why one would pick ES over GS.
To answer your poll question, yes, "Do Nothing". Welcome and post more pictures of your ride.

I'm going to assume this is an April Fools' Day joke.

If it's not, then I suggest you carbon-fiber wrap your entire roof and then use glossy plasti-dip over the wrap. That way you'll have a CF panorama roof. It's gonna be so sweet and your friend will be soooo jelly.

There were a couple of lies in my intro. I don't have any friends with an ES and even if he did bash me for seeing no difference between the two, I would have to set him straight

I never cared for the pano roof anyways.

There's no way I would pick an ES over a GS. I had a 2nd GS so I'm familiar with that.

Thanks for the welcome. I picked it up last August and didn't make an intro since it's stock with red overlay for the taillights.
