Default Just wrapped my roof rails

Just wrapped my roof rails....



I think it came out pretty good

Used VIVVID Gloss White Wrap , got it from Amazon , its about one shade off from Artic White but is close enough …..

the match is almost perfect for Artic White

Perhaps it could look better with column also wrapped? The white ends a bit abruptly without it in my opinion : )

I saw a friend of mine who painted his columns body color "Black Rose Metallic" along with the rails and I was not sure if I liked it … the Carbon fiber roof comes with just the roof rails painted , that's where I got the idea to do my clear roof

Maybe next weekend I will do the columns , heck if I don't like it its easy to take off

Exactly, take it off if you don't like it. It may look pretty good with the columns done. Looks good either way.

Looks good and I too think it would look even better with the wrap extended down along the edges of the windshield.

Sounds like a majority win for the columns to be wrapped lol

Great Job!!!! I did the same on my arctic white and I thought it transformed the car. Doing the ‘A’ pillar, continuing it down on either side of the windscreen, I think would look weird, but if you do it, please post as I’d like to see what it looks like.
