Hey Guys i'm new to this forum all the way from Curacao. I'm looking for a sheet of gloss black roof vinyl for my infiniti G37 sedan.

Not sure if you'll get any referrals here. My suggestion is please, please DO NOT vinyl your G37's roof.

Curious reactions here.

I've seen it done well, when done professionally, and on a car (like the G) where the c-pillar isn't integrated into the roof. Search for BlueBat. He's all over the car forums for vinyl overlays.

yes. you don't have a panoramic roof. don't make it look like you have one. that looks cheap. if you really wanted one, buy a car with a panoramic roof. it's like the people running around with those LED strips on their headlights because they want to look like an Audi. Tell me how good that looks?

Those are two completely different things. You're not making any sense. It's just a black roof, for crying out loud.

whatever. OP asks, I answered. If you don't like my opinion, then go do it. to each their own. I'll argue the same for the LED. It's just a LED strip, for crying out loud.

Perhaps. But no one said anything about LED strips. That was all you.

was his question.

LED strip was a comparison of how it makes your car looks, IMO. cheap. He asked why I and others said no to the idea. That was my reason. He (as well as you) agree or disagree and do what you choose to on your own. I wasn't trying to start an internet argument with the OP.

Aye. Realized that in between posts.

And since he didn't qualify that question as only fishing for responses that weren't condescending, it looks like you get a pass there too.

...and it seems we're both Ninja Editors. LOL

to the OP it is your car so do what you want with it. if others dont like it its not like they are driving ur car.. for vinyl products just google 3m vinyl and see who carries the size sheet you need.
