Roof overlay

So I started a thread about this a couple months ago but I crashed my car and I finally got it back and had the time to install my roof overlay. So let me know what you think. I was deciding if I wanted to get a two tone paint job so I figured I'd try this and if I liked it go from there since this is removable. Here's the link to my cardomain.

Well me and my buddy were painting my stock wheels at the same time so we were at it for awhile. If we were just doing the overlay I would say it would of taken like an hour and a half to two hours at most.

Bluebatmobile is FTMFW! I had his tail light overlays on my 350Z, excellent fit and he goes above and beyond the call of duty for customer service as far as I am concerned .

I got it from andy at bluebatmobile.net he should have it listed on his site soon. If he doesn't have it up yet just email him and he'll give you all the details. It's a two piece overlay the roof is just too big for it to all be one piece. Thanks for all the comments. Hopefully he will be doing the rest of the top of my car to make it look like a two tone paint job. So I'll let you guys know.

looks clean, but not for the 8 imo.i think the only way it looks good on the lexus' is because it has the "illusion" of the whole top being glass. the 8's glass just doesn't flow correctly.

Absolutely that lexus looks sick. Its just a personally preference. I love the way it looks and I'm not done with the overlay yet I'm gonna overlay the whole top section from the windows up and eventually get a carbon fiber hood and trunk. Just wanted something that sets my car apart from everybody elses.

I just ordered mine 2 days ago. Should be in soon. I've also got the hood, trunk, and front bumper painted black, so just doing the door sills and it'll look completely 2-toned.

Sweet man.. Post up some pictures of your car when it's done I'd like to check it out... I don't know if you've ever installed overlays before but if you have any questions feel free to ask. Just make sure to take your time with the install...
