i love your roof! where did you get it done?

[aris]

Looks good...are the rims powder coated or just painted gold??

[floodgatez]

rims are powder coated. didn't turn out to be the colour i wanted initially.

i got my roof done at SHINZO

Winter mode LOOKS nice. Love the wheel colour on RED/BLACK.

How much did you pay for a black roof?!?!

[floodgatez]

some interior pictures. i'm getting my roof redone in glossy black tomorrow.

This looks amazing! Did you use LED strips for your footwells? I was planning to do the exact same thing, but in white. And did you make a switch or did you have them turn on along with your lowbeams?

wicked shots! nice point of view!

Cars looking mighty fine man. The look of the 2010s are starting to rub off on me now. I like it.

hey!

i did use LED strips to provide that flush glow. it was cheap (ebay). there's also a switch for the LEDs. i definitely encourage the switch because when i drive with a headache, the last thing i want is excessive light. the LEDs turn on along with my 'auto'.

glossy roof with my crew sticker on:


matte black rear emblem with my initials (FloodGatez):

What made you decide to go with the glossy roof instead of the matte finish? Also, is there a "drying" time for the roof? I plan on getting it done at Shinzo as well, but the weather has been pretty crappy these couple of days...

Lookin goooood!!!

My roof is being done tomorrow!

[floodgatez]

thanks.

after installing the vinyl, let it bake a while in the sun so that the water bubbles would evaporate.

i changed it to glossy cause i'm changing my hood :p

hey gabriel...you gonna be at AA on April 15th? =)

[Blindside]

I like how the rims match the fog light tint

Gloss black on the roof?

What was it before, matte or flat?

[floodgatez]

hey gabriel...you gonna be at AA on April 15th? =)

hey vince, is AA the nextmod meet? if so, for sure man... wouldn't miss it. but i wish i could've completed the rest of my next mods first before going

blindside, my roof was matte black before.

Any problems with waxing or anything like that after getting the vinyl done? I'm thinking of getting my roof done this summer as well.

[vcp]

What is the glossy wrap worth to be done? I am still considering it...

Car looks great!

wax the vinyl as if it's regular paint. thin layer is good. one coat will cover up all the hairline scratches from highway driving :p

hope that helps.
