Bat's Roof & Rear Valence Overlay on Diamond Graphite... Opinions & Questions!
 
I was wondering what do you guys honestly think of the roof overlay? I pictured it basically looking like an OEM paint job for some reason and you can kind of see that it's 2 layers up close. Now given a local tint shop / vinyl shop called Formula One is who installed them.

The rear valence in all honestly does look INSANE. From every angle, and even up close, I feel like it looks amazing.

Anyway should I take off the roof overlay or leave it? I just don't want anything even semi-ricey on this car. The black grill also really sets the front off. Which I painted with Plasti-Drip paint. ;)

Anyway I need opinions on whether I should keep the roof overlay on or take it off. The shop told me it would need a few days in the sun to look right. But is this normal? Does it really take a few days for it to look better? I just don't know! :confused:

EDIT - some better pictures!!

OtisG35 Nov 26, 2008 02:22 PM

Yeah, I can't see anything either. Definately take some higher quality pictures man.

Could use better pics, but I like the black roof.

I know my friggin' BlackBerry Curve is horrible when it comes to taking pictures so frustrating!

Here are a few more pics, the black roof looks AMAZING from a distance I just worry about how it looks up close in detail you can almost see that it's an overlay but I'm hoping a few days in the sun helps take care of this. Maybe Bat will respond but that's the only frustrating thing. :(

to reduce the gap can't you just trim the vinyl to reduce the overlap? i ordered my roof overlay last week can't wait to install it!

Ouch this was the type of response that I was afraid of! :(

MixturePinoy Nov 26, 2008 04:56 PM

it looks aweful. I've seen them done way better

inknartg35 Nov 26, 2008 05:03 PM

could have come out a lot better, whoever put it on didn't take there time or apparently care, mine came out fine, it probably looks good if you standing a little ways back though

I had a professional tint shop install the overlay too that's what is so frustrating they do vinyl overalys all the time so it's not like it was something new to them. I think I'm definitely going to take it off what a waste of f-cking money ugh. :mad:
