Vinyl on roof and front bumper

what's up team? haven't been on here much lately. I finally got some things done to the ride so i thought i would share.

Gloss black vinyl on roof, satin black vinyl on front bumper. Haven't really seen anything done to the Journey bumper so i thought those that have this bumper may be particularly interested in this. I think it came out great and changes the look dramitacally..

Antenna was not wrapped because the guy doing the work thought it would not hold up well because of the small surface area.

Work was done by TVP Auto in Raleigh, NC. Pete does great work.

Roof overlay looks great. Nice job... I don't particularly like the front tho, but to each it's own.

The center vinyl disrupts the natural body lines of the G coupe, the roof looks good though. I sort of feel as though the "Audi" mod is more for the secondary class of enthusiasts (i.e. accords, civics, neons, camrys, cavaliers, cobalts, etc).

I agree with the top two comments. I love the top vinyl, I have it on My G, however mine is painted gloss black. Fits the vibe of the G. However, I don't really like the front vinyl. I don't like when the G35s do that to their front to resemble a GTR and I feel like this is trying to do the same. Takes away from the sexy line of the G. Just my opinion!

Roof looks good, bumper looks hideous.

Sorry.

ha ha ha, I love the comments. LOL.

I feel you on the front. just wanted to do something to change the look of the journey bumper without actually getting a new bumper. too much cash right now. I think I'll sit on it a while. Ultimately i would like the IPL bumper but dang so expensive right now. has anybody done anything else to Journey bumper to dress it up at all? I didn't really see anything on this forum. seems like everybody always replaces it...Thanks for looking.

Roof looks nice but the front now like a Lexus,Audi,Mitsubishi...If it's vinyl you can take it off and go for the true lines of our car.

Looks great. I just finished doing my roof with brushed black aluminum 3M 1080. I was going to do the middle lower portion of my front bumper but got frazzled and came inside. I left my antenna alone too for the same reason stated.

Looks better in person. Compliments the graphite wheels flawlessly.
