PIC Request: Roof wrap w/original body color sharkfin - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Husker BRZ · 05-30-2014, 04:26 PM

I'm looking at possibly getting my roof wrapped in black. My dilemma is I already have my sharkfin painted sterling silver to match the body. I can't decide if it would look good to have the roof black and the sharkfin silver. I was hoping to find some others who I have done this as I've seen only one local to me. Thank you for any pics you can post in advance!

I second this!

Just my two cents though I would just recommend color matching the roof. It's going to look weird IMHO to have the sharkfin different color than the roof.

Not a BRZ but still shows a roof wrap with the body colored shark fin.

Yeah I keep going back and forth in my head. That's why I'm really hoping someone with a silver has done this before. I'm torn because I think it could look really good or really weird lol In the end if I'm gonna wrap the roof the sharkfin will stay silver otherwise I probably will just leave it alone.

One solution would be to get the sharkfin in silver and just plasti dip it then put a coat of glossifier so it would match the black gloss. Plastidip is really easy to test things out with because if it messes up you just peel it off. Just don't put the glossifier on before you are happy with the result, makes removal much more difficult.

This would be in case you don't like how the silver and black look.

Good idea! I hadn't thought of that mainly because I haven't actually plasti-dipped anything lol. I will definitely keep this in mind though as it may be a good place to try it out. Thanks again!
