Gloss black vinyl on roof?

That looks terrible.

Not trying to be mean or anything, but c'mon. Why buy a 30k sports car and spray paint the effin roof?

Yeah that's why I removed it immediately after taking the pics. More of just an experiment for fun to see how the stuff worked. If it looked good then it would be great and I would save some money. If not, then I can just take it off and no harm done.

Whew! You had me there for a second... man... good call...

I plasti-dipped my emblems on my Z and they came out great. I ended up peeling them off and spraying them and re-gluing them back on. Looks much more complete now.

I'm thinking about plasti-dipping my fangs after getting the Stillen front splitter. Definitely shouldn't be anywhere near as terrible looking as the roof.
If it doesn't look good, then I'll just take it off and get it painted at a body shop.
