Shark Gray Vinyl?
Has anyone found a vinyl that matches the OEM Shark Gray paint? If so, link please!
I have a transparent roof and I'd like to color match the side spears of the roof but I don't want to paint my roof as this will limit future buyers when I go to sell the transparent roof in the future.
For what it's worth, this is the look I'm going for:

Figured this would be a long shot, but I've seen members that have found vinyl that matches Blade Silver pretty well. Still hoping there is something that matches Shark Gray pretty well!

I agree. But Arctic White is a more common color. I see people with less common colors trying to sell things on the forum and it's more difficulty as they have a narrower audience.

Paint it.
the exposed carbon fiber roofs are painted by supplier not at the plant. So every C7 with one and color matched sides has been sprayed by a person. Not a robot.

Thank you! But I'm having trouble navigating to the tab you're talking about. I don't see any C7 roof rails.

So it turns out I actually bought these from their eBay website a few weeks ago. I wasn't happy with the color match (the shade/tone was off and there was no depth to the paint). I also did not like the sharp edges.

I noticed that they do have sharp edges, I just assumed when it was attached it would kind of be flush. Did you ever finally install them? Or once you saw the color mismatch you sent them back?

Paint it, I'll buy it off you when you sell as I've already painted my A-pillars shark gray to blend with my CF roof with painted sides.

I installed them and was not happy with the look at all. Did not look like they belong there.
