Stupid? Or Cool? I'm too old to know

I have an ultramarine, and I was contemplating adding a black wrap to the roof, which should go well with the dark tinting I'm getting?

Thoughts?

I think it would look it's best as closely matching the upcoming tint as possible. Overall, I think it looks good, but I don't trust some of my ideas sometimes!

Just curious, why do you care if your roof matches your tint color?


Seems like a waste of money on a dark color like ultramarine where it wouldn't really be noticed.

All depends on what you like. Black roof isn't bad, it's the fake carbon fiber wrapped roofs that get me. I think the black looks better on lighter colors because of the contrast, but it won't look bad on dark colors either.

I am contemplating wrapping my roof black, but my car is silver and has black Enkei RPF-1 wheels.

I'm not sure it's really worth it with that color, but if you like it, do it!

I like the gloss black roof look on white, silver, and other light colored cars personally.

Go straight from "black vynl wrap" to "im going to cut a hole in my roof for a sun roof". Be the first 86 to have a sun roof!

I think you're right, I hadn't thought too much about the lack of... What's the word? The two colors being both so dark, It would be less noticeable.

See that's why I ask opinions!

Doesn't always mean I'm going to follow them though!
