Not a fan (at least in this particular case). I don't think it looks right for a number of reasons......paint isn't glossy, looks strange on a bone stock car, doesn't go with silver too well, etc.

hahaha what a critisizm...I saw silver A3 stock and no windows tinted and it looked good, and i didnt want it glossy. if u accually see it on person it doesnt look that bad how u say it.

it's nice to get a 2 tone. Only thing is you need to unify the look throughout your car. Just the top looks out of place. You need to do something about the hood maybe but it's a start.

Hey, you asked for opinions. The reasons some A3's have an all black roof is because Audi offers a huge glass roof called the open sky system. Nearly the entire roof is glass, it's not painted flat black.

In the end, if you like the mod then that's all that matters.....we all have different tastes. Do what makes you happy.

I think it looks ok. I thought it would look better but that could be because of the picture. I too hoped that the black portion would have the same "shine" as the rest of the body but as we constantly say on this forum, the only person that needs to be happy is you.

ya kinda hard to offer up too much of an opinion based on that photo

the roof can barely be seen

did you paint it yourself?

I think the idea is right, but as its been said you really haven't tied it in with anything. Maybe if you were to do the vinyl on the grill and/or hood as well it would tie in better. Right idea, right look, but just not "complete".

You asked people what they thought!

from what I can see of it I think you need to add more to it aswell. The hood and roof together would look much better. Just the roof done looks out of place.

But again this is just my opion and its yours that matters.

I agree. You can't come here and ask people for their honest opinion, and then get defensive when they say they don't like it. That being said, the only person that DOES have to like it is you, so you shouldn't take anything that anyone says personally. Everyone has their own styles or tastes, and if you like it, then awesome. That's all that matters.
As for my opinion, I've never been a fan of 2 tone cars, unless they're hot rods or something like that. I just have never really particularly liked them. But, I agree with everyone when they say that it looks half-done. It will look better with more done to tie it all together...

So did anybody figure out if this was vinyl or paint?

that flat black, I'd guess at vinyl.

I'm gonna take a stab and say it's vinyl...

You're asking for a hefty ticket with that licence plate behind the windshield.

here's my car. I thought I'd do it for fun and I think it turned out pretty good, received lots of compliments too. The roof ties in really well with the wheels/carbonfiber lip/blacked out emblems :)

I agree it does look really good on white. Is your a vinyl chinster?

TheProfessor
05-23-2008, 05:59 PM
Agreed, due to the mods and colour of your car it looks quite reasonable.

Moses
05-23-2008, 08:09 PM

Moses I'd like to see more shots, maybe from different angles?, especially a high, back-quarter shot would be perfect....If its no trouble! ...I've been contemplating going for a mat vinyl roof on my hatch also.That one pic makes it hard to see, imo.

Oh, okay missed that somehow :chuckle I don't think I'd go that far, vinyl would be okay cause if I don't like it, I can just peel it off...How about RJ3 is his painted also?

Thanks dude, I was going to do the exact scheme as your car (with the lip and everything) but priorities in life are changing.... car is no longer #1

Flagrum_3
06-01-2008, 08:21 AM
Okay, I'm a little confused here:loco Who has the vinyl on the roof? And where did he get it?.And did they do it themselfs or have it done?
Plus are there different textures of vinyl and colours available?

Thanks,

I was wondering when you were going to post to this thread.
Yeah, if you're going to to the roof.... might as well finish the job and off with the lines and do the hood (... and trunk!?!?!....)

-RJ3-
06-01-2008, 02:48 PM
Trunk might be a bit overkill.. gotta have contrast, so Thats why I got the m3 spoiler and leaving it black... Who knows again to answer questions it is vinyl/paint LOL
