Was contemplating applying vinyl to my roofline to make it either a gloss or flat black on my alpine white 5.... Anyone done that yet? Anyone have an opinion on how that looks? I think with the CF roundels/centercaps/splitter it may look hot.... Also have a pretty dark tint so it should blend nicely.

How much would the overlay be? I think this would look great.

I have an AW with a black roof. I did it about a year ago and have no regrets. I love the way it turned out. Check out some pics.
