yeah a member is buying the system from me this weekend so hes getting a really, really good deal.

but yeah i went out side and looked at the Z and was like damn its upside down. In 3-4 days my car is going back to the shop to have the whole hatch shaved and repainted and have the front bumper emblem shaved and repaint the front also.

Did you have to sand the entire center piece prior to painting it silver?

Can you get more pics of the top? I'm very impressed. Also what percent tint did you use? Can you give me any details on which paint and what type of clear was used (perhaps even how many coats) so that it really looks like glass?

Really....I thought the texture was the main reason paint might not last long on it

In any event...it looks good.

well the dash was painted and cleared. the same paint you would use on the outside of the car same with the clear

the roof is the sl55 black its paint code is 040. and theres maybe 3-4 coats of clear.. very very glossy. You would have to see it in real life, everyone thinks its real glass. Its funny because people stick there head inside the car and look up and see a headliiner lol. also the window tint i have is 20% but i wish i just got 10 or even 5%
