You don't need to get anything certified by anyone for something that minor.

The vast majority is still white.

Doesn't seem like that much of a change so I would say no. Just out of curiosity, what's the idea behind that paint job?

NO paint needed

all you need is a vinyl roof overlay and a small CF lip to get the look you're going for.

here's a link to the lip http://www.delsamotorsports.com/shop...products_id=32

The roof overlay shouldn't be hard to find either.






Oh, and even though axis wheels aren't all that, ...shine's are teh sex

i say go for the two-tone look. my rx8 is blk/gry two-tone and it draws looks everywhere. very unique. and dont get vinyl, please. plus, when I compared the two prices, my body shop was actually $275 less than what the vinyl place said it would cost, and that did include the annoyingness of having to install the vinyl
