Looks good. Im going in 2 weeks for my makeover. Getting a boser painted my stock color, Rieger R-RX full front, sides, and rear valence. Damn, I want to do my roof too, but I dont have the balls to paint it. I was thinking of getting it vinyled, but not sure how it would look. Curious, where are you getting the work done, and how much is it costing you over all?

nice, ima buy the RS-4 skirts and R-RX rear valence in the summer.

take a good pic of the car that shows the roof and the side of the car and i'll pchop it for you.

im getting all my work at Remedy autobody paint and collision center. i had an insurance claim on the rear end, but everything else is customer pay.
the shop is in whittier 562-693-1261 ask for Jeff Harrison or Don Greeno, tell em Jesse Raya sent you to get hooked up. they'll treat you right and give ya a good price. my roof color is called Ebony Pear - Alt 1... its a super dark grey almost black looking. they also perfectly color matched my carbon fiber boser hood.

btw... im not paying for any of the work. in return i did all their graphics and working on the site. if you go to the hodges gtg, you'll see what it looks like in person. :tup:

Awesome look...however, was the plan to paint the roof to flow with the carbon? Or did you just decide to paint after you were in the shop? Can't wait to check it out soon ;)

Thanks everyone!

i originally was going to have the middle of the hood color matched with the new roof and i did pchops, but came to the conclusion that i didn't like it and that painting the hood silver looked a lot cleaner and the roof being black would look like it was all glass because of the moonroof. :tup:
however, the underside of the hood was left untainted and the CF is clearly visible :D
