smokedoutv6 Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 our roof doesn't really have a nice edge to put the vinyl up against like the g35 has that black plastic/rubber grove on the roof. havent seen it done and i think thats why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmononana Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 It attracts women pssh, black rims attract women, not roofs. I do think this would look nice with a lighter colored car, would look weird (IMHO) on a darker car, like my DGM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amp583 Posted May 26, 2009 Author Share Posted May 26, 2009 It provides a higher solar absorption rate versus traditional white allowing the car to be warmer in colder months. During the summer, it acts as a heatshield as your driving reaches in excess of 190MPH. and it looks cool on some cars reminds me of scion tc - whats the benefit of doing this other than than looks?

nemo Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 my feelings on doing it? coupe = yes. sedan = no. If you don't vote Trump, out, you're a bigot who hates america. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ssej Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Looks cool on some other cars that I have seen. Don't think it would look good on an LGT without other visual enhancements, for example... http://memimage.cardomain.com/ride_images/2/3931/41/22325020028_medium.jpg But then again, that ride has molding on the roof to give a clear separation line between the black and the white, and that's what the Legacy does not have, since it all pretty much blends together on the roof.

Gire Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 It's a reasonably popular fad right now, with the Euro crowd. I'd suggest vinyl so you can remove it in a year when the fad is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
