look at the reflection of the trees on your sunroof and then look at it on your roof. Since it´s Vinyl it´s not clear like the sunroof. If it was painted it´d look just as clear

since waxing it it has become more reflective but i do not really want the high reflective gloss like paint, i want it to be more of a half way between matte and gloss. and in person it looks perfect

hey ashley you gonna paint your trunk emblem when you paint your chrome trim? i think it'd look good black. I debadged the INFINITI from my doggy door and it doesnt look bad at all, you can see the shape of the letters but it's not deep, it looks almost like the INFINITI was custom indented on the trunk handle if that makes sense
