Default What do you think of my new halo/roof?

So even though my car is for sale, for some reason I can't stop modding it I have always liked the blacktop cf halo's and roofs but didn't want to throw down the thousands of dollars to do it. I contacted a shop locally that wraps lots of Ferrari's and asked if they would do this. It wasn't as cheap as I thought it would be but I am happy paying more as long as it doesn't mess with the paint and it looks AMAZING.

3M DiNoc CarbonFiber wrap I take it?

Good stuff from what I have seen. Interested in doing this to my C6. Is it clear coated?

sorry for the 2x post... yes, I think it was the earthquake.

@Archias. It doesn't have a clear coat on it but they say it should last around 6 years. Though, I am sure I would change something by then.

Hard to tell how it looks in those pictures, because its so close up. Step back away from the car a few feet so we can see the whole picture.

I think an all white Vette, especially one without the dark transparent top like yours, looks better with the treatment you had applied, although I do see apparent imperfections in the roof portion, and what appears to be large bubbles in the halo portion in the forth picture of post #1, or am I seeing things?

Some of them do come with the dark top/halo. Proof is below:





OP your vette looks great with the black top/halo

Looks good. You should also wrap the A-pillars.

There aren't any bubbles, that might just be the cell phone or something. Its perfect looking!

Im sure it looks better in person, but in the pics it reminds me of the old vinyl tops of the 60' & 70's and I hated them. But like I said, it probably looks better in person....
