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.

Looks pretty good...

I likey! How long did it take to put it on??

ztbear13 03-24-2009 12:11 AM

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.

where exactly did you get that overlay from? I think I may be interested in something like that to go along with my hood

mscamp02 03-24-2009 12:35 PM

And dont bring up the CF overlay for 1600 dollars...I do like it however its a little to pricey lol

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 :).

Hoss 03-24-2009 01:23 PM

Pics look good man :) . Did he make you a one piece or a two piece overlay?

ztbear13 03-24-2009 07:02 PM

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 great !!!
I'm thinking about doing this to mine too !

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...

Blue_Chameleon 04-06-2009 12:39 AM

Yes vndr09....post those pics. I was thinking of getting some but decided to wait. Maybe you can convince me to get them ;-)

winddude 04-06-2009 12:50 AM

Looks, good, might be doing this to my 8 soon.
