Honestly?? no. The halo only, not the top.....

Please don't take offense, just my opinion and not my style.


Other than that, the car looks really good with those wheels. I'm jealous!!

Not sure I like the flat black color. Anyway, the halo part is OK, the roof - just not what I would do.

PD is fun to play with. Easy to use and try out ideas.


OP, not sure I like the experiment on your very fine looking car!

Most will grow out of it but some here still do finger painting.

Wow, I guess i am opposite. I think I would like the roof without the halo. Not a black halo guy, but with the roof i think it looks good.

First off the color appears to be gray not black so I think the picture does not do it full justice. The only black roof/halo cars I have seen had heavy tint on the glass so it made the entire top look black and to me that looked good. I do agree with others where the matt finish of the PD on other vise beautiful shiny car does look little out of place. Maybe hit it with some glossofier and see how that looks.
