Having successfully plasti-dipped my wheels in black, and pleased with the result, I decided to wrap my roof in gloss black. Believe me, it's not as easy as they make out on YouTube, but I'm really happy with the overall look it's created for the car. :lol:

I'm not one to mod mines except for just rims but your is nicely done. The black starts from the front bumper, continues to the deflector, over the top and continues through the rear window.

Tasteful and not overly done. Looking good!

That looks sweet. I like the black roof/white body look.

Very nice look. I'm going to do my snow rims as soon as the weather warms up. I assume plasti dip is similar to paint in that it doesn't work that well in very cold temps.

Thank you for your comments, guys!
No, I don't think I'm going to wrap the bumpers. I think that would be incredibly hard to do!
Yeah, I guess plasti dip is like paint - the only difference is you can peel it off when you get sick of the look!
