Somebody should make this for Corvettes
I was looking at a bad *** C5 vette that had a blacked out halo (I'm guessing that means the B pillar was painted black because theirs was). And realizing my clear top has terrible peeling and my painted top has a couple of scratches, started my thinking about alternatives.
I got to thinking how the new ZRI has a cool looking Carbon Fiber roof panel and was wondering why I have not seen any fake CF roof panel vinyl or B pillar overlays whether vinyl or plastic overlay.
Anyway if someone wants to make these and take my idea feel free to send me one for field testing
Flame away haters
, with all the lame adornments I've seen, this would hardly be the ugliest thing one could do. What ugly adornments, just flip through an accessory catalog and wait for the laughs, if you don't laugh at any of them----then you would be part of the problem
ENJOY!

I was thinking more of a cheap festooned piece of crap not the actual high dollar real thing, sounds cool though

A poor fitting overlay with double sided tape is the way to go.

Try looking here. They used some 3M material for a carbon fiber look.

My brother's name is Jack, he is in the Air Force and lives in Louisiana.
Maybe I will try this on my painted Targa, I wish someone had good pics of their Targa with this on it.
Halo-----probably not-----A-pillar maybe? the possibilities are almost endless
