i kinda thought the same thing when i was done. i cant tell if its the roof, or the window trim, but something isnt right. im going to experiment with changing my red accents on the wheels to black. i think it would look better. idk what ill do

suggestions welcomed with open arms!

I never got why people paint their roof black.

Doesn't it attracted heat? White seems cooler.

The chrome trim designated your car as a higher model than the rest. Plus it looks classy.

The black roof...ugh...why couldnt you at least used vinyl so that it would be reversable?

Judging from this and your wheels, you have an affinity for spray paint. Put the cans down. Leave your car alone until you can afford to fix it up right.

i kinda thought the same thing about the trim after i did it. ive seen it on many other cls and it looked CLEAN, but they were all darker colored cls.

and as far as vinyl, im repainting and building my car this winter, so it can be reversed.

Jeez, harsh.

Can you lightly sand the trim and polish it to get it to look how it did before? or would you start to see copper like when you sand down a shift ****? I'm not sure what it's made of...

It might look better if you're going to paint the car black. I just thought it looked a little 'classier' before.
