I have been debating doing this for years. I say go for it. Gloss black would look great, but I also think a Satin black would look really good as well. I wouldn't go completed flat black, but maybe something with a little less gloss.

Ive been thinking about doing this since I got that carbon fiber evo wing. But Im kinda falling back on the straight up white and black instead of white and CF. IDK. But the black roof think is really cool. Ive wanted to do it since I got my car. Wasnt sure if I was going to do a wrap or get it painted though. Im sort of afraid the wrap may bubble on a really hot day...

$100 is a great price for getting it professionally done. I've been wanting to do mine but haven't found a decent quote so far.

put the picture in paint, along with the roof. i was thinking about either painting or putting vinyl over that bottom part of the rear lip. i think it looks like a diffuser haha

Great minds think alike and this has been on my mind also, but since there is that little lip on the inside of the lip , I think the vinyl would be a bit more susceptible to peeling off. For that reason I think masking it off with some blue painters tape ,and spraying with the plasti-dip is the better decision.

LMAO I seen someone else with this done on here. I cant remember who though. I thought it looked pretty awesome. And I agree with lanzer, plastidip or just straight up paint may be the better solution.

PS Also saw someone who made custom diffusers on the bottom of that lip added a nice touch to it. I think it was in the "Plasti Dip Fun" Thread.
