Who want a Roof Overlay? (PICS)!
Anyone interested in a roof Overlay? Good alternative to painting your roof black. Just finished one for the G35 Coupe! I'm seeking a test car in the San Diego area that would be interested. Email me

what is the stuff made of? UV rays kills the clear coat on the roof, i wonder will this stuff hold up in the rain and on sunny days. And like most sticky adhesive on paint, the clear would be messed up later if you tried taking the overlay off.
. I've already gotten about 10 peopole since this am that want it. As far as price goes, not sure yet. The G35 version is only $70 shipped!Trending Topics

I'm in if I can convince my neighbor to put it on for free. Is there any risk of fcking up the paint underneath?

Paint can take more abuse than any type of overlay. I was wondering if this product is prone to water, UV rays, peeling, and what not. Since this peice is black, i was asking how does water and sun is going to affect it. Water spots are going to show up and also any type of flaws. Black paint with clear, however, can be polished back out to new. last thing i want is a overlay that is chipped and full of flaws that i can't do anything about.
