I was going to get the same thing from Premium Auto Styling, but that pre-cut is for the BRZ. I'm sure you could cover that right up if you got a shark-fin antenna.

And on a side note, the front and rear bumpers are made of plastic, right? I got a quarter-sized chip right by the edge of the rear bumper closest to the wheel from backing up into something? It seems pretty high for a sidewalk though... I'm asking because if it's plastic it won't rust on me.

I'm thinking about doing this myself down the road. I'm thinking about getting the car repainted a nice, bright yellow in a year or so, and when I do, I'll have the roof painted black. I've already messed with the idea in the car painter on Forza 4 and I think it looks pretty good.

Shark fin from visual garage will cover that right up

Whoa, that's off quite a bit! If you plastidip, you think the colour'll match?
You did a great job though, is it your first time?

@deedzman Thanks for the pictures, gloss black looks fantastic. Btw was the red-out taillights a DIY?

Im not sure if it will match.. it should be fine from a distance
and yes it was my first time

I'm thinking of gloss black along with the side mirrors as well

like the black matte on the roof but not on the lips

i liked the black roof effect on the Scion Tc, but at least there you had a functional
moon roof that extended to the read passenger seat.

here, this is just purely cosmetic. does not work well.

So, how was the gloss black done?

You just buy gloss black vinyl instead of matt black
