I think it looks better on the gen 1/1.5 in my opinion. keep the color on your car.

But for those who love,

You could ask someone to photoshop that onto your car. So you would get the idea of what it would look like.

LOL! Vinyl - :lol: :rofl: :drinking:

Don't do it! Gen 1 works nice especially with a CF hood, but the lines of the Gen 2 wouldn't look very good IMO.

Sorry to hear that some asshole keyed your car though... totally suxass!! :evil:

^^ yeah i agree 100 percent... the gen 2's wouldn't look good like that. I know how you feel tho, my car got keyed in the school parking lot.... friggin jealous bastards. Luckily, whoever keyd my car failed horribly and only scratched the clear coat and i can probably compound it out.... Good luck with your car though!

My suggestion, grab some large black sheets of construction paper, black desk blotters, even black plastic bags and tape them to the roof of your car. Now, stand back and decide whether you like the look. If so grab the paint gun or head to the body shop. If not remove the black material from your roof and go on with your life.

Only you can decide whether you like the look.
