Default Gloss black vinyl wrapped halo mod

Decided to do a project I've had sitting around for a while. I think it will have to grow on me, I'm not sure of it yet.

I like it, but then I like my 3M 1080 carbon fiber wrap too.

Blends in very well, if you get tired of it no worries peel it off.

I think the halo looks good blacked out.

looks clean! looking to wrap mine even though its painted black since whoever painted it wasn't that talented. Did you do it yourself or have a shop do it?

Longevity is good too. Did my halo and top (painted top, I hate the glass top) back in 2010 and it's held up great.

I did mine (and the top) as well. Should have come from the factory like this.

And if they did we would have threads about guys wrapping them to match the car!

Really gives the C5 a lower appearance...

Your post is perfect timing. I'm getting mine done next week and I was just going to do the top, but now am going to have them do the halo too. When are you going to lose those bsm's? It will really smooth out the look of the car. It already looks great btw

E,

The door glass tint needs to be darker to "finish off" the look. Otherwise

BTW I want your wheels on my Pewter FRC
