Anyone ever seen a blacktop EP3?

[JDM_y0!]

So my friend just got a vinyl blacktop done to his 06 maxima and it turned out really sexy. I got to thinking..... how would a blacktop look on a white ep3? So i got to googling and nothing showed up. So now I'm asking you guys, what do you guys think? yay or nay?

I guess it depends on the car. On some Ep's it looks better then on others. On the other hand, Mini Coopers with the black top all look good.

I was thinking of doing it too!!!

fobman: you remember the gloss black vinyl manufacturer? You do it yourself or have a graphics shop install it?

i went to a graphic/tint shop. i'm not sure which brand they used

[lbk02si]

No never! That's just crazy talk!

[situner28]

just depends on the setup dumped out on some negative camper vsxx with recaros yay others not so much haha just depends on your taste man... if you like it then no one's opinions should count your the one driving it make your own style... good luck with everything. fyi this is creative!

[Kerby]

care to share how much they charged you for:

1.) Vinyl
2.) Labor to install

[Passenger]

whats the purpose in it, besides..... having a black top? I never understood this.

[situner28]

blacktop and hood would just make the car that much hotter in the summer time.... i hope he has a/c

Johnny Danger has had a black top on his white EP since we met in 05. I believe he has a member rides thread that's worth taking a look at. He has a really nice EP.

[SkareKrow]

Pure aesthetics. My main reason was to "hide" the sunroof.

Gotcha. It doesn't look bad, I just had no idea what the purpose was or where it came from.

It came from E55 AMG and then became even MORE popular when the newest M3 came out.

[ct_EP3]

I was wondering if you got any pictures of the maxima? My friends got one and he wants to see what it looks like.
Btw, those ep3s look sexy as hell. Good looks guys.

[ZoomBoy]

I wouldn't mind doing a vinyl roof wrap of black on my Civic this summer if the price isn't outrageous.

[geeio]

now any one try any patterns ? checkers or houndstooth?

[khiemboy]

I have a ssm and mine has been wrapped for like 2 years and i still love it

[Euro-Yellow-Ep3]

I want to do it on my ep, it looks much better when u have a cf hood

[2004ep3hatch]
