Help me decide if I should wrap my roof gloss black

jbeemer13 · 06-24-2015, 09:59 PM

I have been going back and forth on weather to wrap my roof gloss black. The look I have been going for is mostly just a simple clean look.

What do you guys think??? Should I wrap the roof gloss black or not? Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Love the wheels.

I have gloss black wrap sitting in my closet ready for my AW 550xi too. Undecided myself.

Looking forward to your decision. Worse case if you don't like it- easy removal.

Thanks tbraden32!

Yeah I guess it's not a permanent thing. I just would hate to get it done to only rip it off weeks later.

Get it done you'll be happy u did!

Just do it ! Both look uber kleen. Keep it for 12 months and if you want a change then remove it and go back to AW or go with Stars & Stripes roof wrap

Personal preference, I think it looks great both ways on AW. I have had mine wrapped for two years now and I can say it makes the car look a bit more aggressive and gives the illusion that it is lower than it actually is. I also have a simple, clean theme going on with my car, and personally I think it flows well.

Yes, do it. It looks amazing on white cars.

Rudeja · 06-25-2015, 11:27 AM

YES

remmib · 06-25-2015, 11:41 AM

Then I'm gonna be the grumpy naysayer and vote no.

It looks super clean as it is now.

Black roof would be the icing on the cake !

Really appreciate the feedback fellas. Seems like the overall vote is yes. Maybe I should schedule my appointment soon! Would you recommend doing the mirrors too?

I dunno why but I think gloss black mirror caps look a little naff and unnatural. Carbon Fibre mirror caps or AW look best IMO

+1

jasonle89 · 06-28-2015, 02:38 AM

i thought of CF mirror cap too. Some US seller has it with higher price than eBay, which isn't a problem at all. But i just feel like US sellers getting it from China anyway....so still not sure which source to get it from
