i came across roof vinyls for sale on ebay and across another site. i drive a white evo 8 and think a blacked out roof would look alot better. but these vinyls seem very cheap and ive never heard of evos doin it. does anyone have pictures or comments about them, thanks

heres a link

Do you have a sunroof - that would def complicate things. I wouldn't say this is easy but it is much cheaper than paint and removable.

 

i personally think, if you really want it...do it right...get it painted

 

i have seen and evo with roof vinyl or even carbon fiber overlay..some of it done poorly thats why i dont dig it..i would sport the CF overlay tho..look tight

 

But if he wanted to remove it in the future then paint would need to be redone.

You could just get some from your local vinyl store, or a shop that wraps cars.

 

i got my roof vinyl'd black, and im glad i can remove it when i get bored of the look

 

I dunno about just having your roof a different color. i would need to see a pic.. but i agree that if you do it, do it right. Paint all the way.

 

Ive seen alot of them vinyled they look good if done right. I would def have a reputable shop do it for you.

 

Any body have pictures of the vinyl installed on a evolution? And I don't have a sunroof

 

i say go for it. i went the painted route when i had my carbon hood/trunk combo. i got rid of that stuff, but kept the black roof/vg. still looks great. either way you decide, vinyl/paint, do it. it looks good on pretty much any color.

 

Get vinyl first, see if you like it.

If you do like it, and want it permanent, get it painted black. No harm in testing the waters.

 

Id do the vinyl to test the waters, but go with paint if its a permanent choice

 

Agreed, vinyl is a good test or temp solution. Some cars with black roof look so badass.

 

Any one have pictures though

 

I have a white VIII and i have a sunroof. I got a black vinyl and it came out perfect. It was very easy to do and the reason i did it was because i can always take it off. I will get you a picture. I have a cf hood so it kinda matches the scheme. I had a white vortex generator but just got a cf one to match also, but later down the road, i can always change everything back
