Need advise
 
Ok so the wife got me a vinyl roof cover for christmas, now I need help... She got gloss and not sure if I should get matte.. What do you think will look better. I plan on getting the Amuse body kit with CF inlays.

Gloss. Makes it seem like from your windshield to rear windshield is glass

+1 for gloss

Matte, makes it look like primer and you cant afford a complete paint job.

m4a1mustang 01-01-2014 03:26 PM

Gloss all the way. I was behind a WRX the other day that had a matte vinyl roof overlay and it looked like crap... Zbrah is right, it looks just like primer.

i don't think matte looks that terrible? plus its really easy to maintain no swirl marks whatsoever... (depends if your really picky) coming from having had gloss, semi gloss and matte roof overlays i think i liked matte blended well with my matte top secret stickers and rims on my z.... just some food for thought

i tried dinoc (matte black) on my roof once.... i HATED it. it looked like faux canvas top from the 70's 80's on buicks and olds. :ugh:
i removed it like 1hr after i did the work. lol

definitely go gloss. :tup:

m4a1mustang 01-02-2014 10:12 AM

Definitely gloss.

^ yah, especially on that red, the gloss looks :yum:

Gloss, DE is correct, will look like a continuous strip of glass from rear to front.

kenchan 01-02-2014 10:43 AM

i would definitely consider doing gloss black down the road. not this year though.

Your wife got it for you, so you better put it on

Shadezz 01-11-2014 11:03 AM

Gloss looks sleeker...happy wife happy life,

Wonka2581 01-11-2014 09:17 PM

No kidding right..:ugh2:

Amuse370z 01-13-2014 12:41 AM

...gloss.

But I'd only do the roof if the windows were tinted. Particularly the rear window.

iceman21_23 01-13-2014 02:10 AM

def gloss although this is painted...
