I can get a sheet of black gloss vinyl for $60 and put it on my roof so that it looks painted. Should I?


Yes or no?

No. I still have nightmares about stripping the vinyl top off from my 70 cougar to find a rust hole the size of a dinner plate.

I picture this as the vinyl roofs of the 70's. You either love them or hate them.

You'll have to scuff paint, apply glue, and apply some sort of trim around the edges. You'll end up with rust a some point as well.

Just paint it or find someone that does car wraps and have them do your roof black.

Not sure what these other old coots are thinking that you are talking about. I know you're not talking about the 70's vinyl "landau" type top.

In my opinion though, no I wouldn't. Your car looks perfect in all red.

Guys I work at a Sign company at the moment til I start my new job. So I would do it all on site with a co-worker since we do car/truck wraps all the time! We are actually doing a 2007 jeep grand Cherokee in flat black next week. We use car vinyl. C'mon what are you all thinkin'!?

As long as it doesnt look like the top on my parents old sky blue 78 Regal, it may be okay.

Do you have a stock photo with this type of work done for reference?

EHHHH Leave it alone. I dont think it would look good unless you paired it with like a black spoiler and some minor decals or something. Just a random black roof wouldn't look good IMO.

I gave the warp option? don't old coot me

Give it a try, but I think stripes would look better.

Why not, just take the necessary precautions before putting it on, I've seen vinyl installed incorrectly to the point where removed it can pull up the paint as well. My entire car is vinyl wrapped so I don't have a problem with vinyl, just be careful, there are wrong ways to do it.

I have all black accents guys! I guess everyone forgot what my car looked like since I really haven't been on here much.


I might give it a shot and if I don't like it i'll rip it off. But i'll prob do the roof first and if I don't like it, i'll do the pillars too. If that doesn't look good i'll rip it all off.











Something similar to this but without the hood
