Default Wrapped the roof on AW Z06...

I had a customer that does vinyl so I had her do the roof to see if I liked it, thought I would share. I will try to add some better pics this weekend

That looks bad ***! Makes me wish I bough AW instead of AO.
I'm with Sarge, I wouldn't mind doing some thing like this to mine to get an idea of the look. Been wanting to break up the orange since I bought it.

I have been wanting to see what it would look like without painting it first.

Looks good

Are you going to leave it wrapped or go with paint.

I am thinking about doing the same... I also slid black dress socks over my mirrors to mimic the look of painted mirrors. With my eyes squinted I thought it looked pretty good.

We gotta do an event together sometime.... Two white Z's together would be like a bigfoot sighting.

IMO doing the mirrors makes a huge difference. Until i did mine the car didn't look quite right with the roof and halo done.

I am still undecided on keeping it white or painting it. The wrap looks good but it is never perfect like paint and that is such a step for me, I did not think of doing the mirrors though.

We really are not that far apart, I always look for your car when I am out west. I don't get to drive it much this year since my son was born but will still manage 1k mi or so..lol

Congrats on the newborn.. If you are not driving the car much that is an acceptable reason.

My car gets out a bit.... Racked up 5500 or so this year... It's will be going to bed here in about 3 weeks for the winter

Maybe an autoX in the spring???? Corvettes of Troy hold events in Xenia... That would probably be close to equal distance.

I guess I just don't understand the black roof and halo thing. It makes me think of the f-body camaros and I think it makes the roof look like plastic.

Awesome! I want to do on my 'new' JSB. What shade of black is that? There are many. If you could post some detail photos that would be great! Want to see how the gaps/finish/seam areas look. If I do it, I'm gonna have to find some Comp Grey wheels

thanks!

The roof is made of plastic. SMC Sheet Molded Composite.

I wonder if that would be a good look for my black car...
