ok i want a gloss black roof or a matte black. Cant decide which.

Well the question is when people have done this mod, what do they do about the shark antenna? obviously i dont want a white shark fin. do you wrap it in vinyl or paint it?

If anybody with free time during this weekend could photoshop my car with a black roof gloss and matte i would appreciate it.

opinions?

I think most everyone wrap it with Vinyl also not paint it. I personally think it would look so awsome on your car. Go with Gloss black!

i talked to the guy on the forum who is selling all the vinyl (forgot his name) and he said it would be nearly impossible to wrap the fin because its weird shape. thought about trying to buy a black one from a junkyard or something along those lines and having them switch it out. Painting that little thing wouldnt be to hard. im just curious on what people have done about it!

I love the look of a black roof on the alpine white. If I had a white 5er it would have already been done!!!

Do it!!

Gloss black!

A painter that has half a brain should be able to paint your fin

Thats what i was curious about. I know it shouldnt be hard to paint but i was thinking of maybe just buying a black one. In case i have the roof and want to take off the vinyl and go back to white stock roof.

Krozi i know you like to photoshop, would you mind taking some of my pictures and adding that gloss black roof? <3 please

I think matte black roof will look better. But since you have gloss black grilles, shadowline and badges, go with gloss.
