    Default Is it posssible to get a roof covered with vinyl?

    Just wondering if its possible to get the entire roof layed with vinyl and it look half decent?

    I know they do those dumb body wrap kits so i'd imagine they could do just the roof panel

    yeah my buddy did it on his car for fun last year since he worked at a sign shop, up close you could see a few flaws but it looked good

    hahaha....when I read the title, I thought it meant vinyl roof as in a Landau vinyl roof - the kind you used to get in the 70's & 80's. Funny how some old geezers still think it's looks good. I occassionally still see a few late model Town Cars and Caddy's done up that way.

    That would be interesting i suppose

    But no, not that... just plain black vinyl.

    Call up Cascade van's, They can do that sort of thing for you.

    I work at a limo company, so all our stretch SUV & town car limos have vinyl/canvas/leather tops. you can get what ever color or design you want, the sky is the limit.

    but Cascade vans is your best bet. When evere we need some work done on our limo "tops", we go to them.

    I just thought of something. If rice is spending money on something that is a useless waste of money and is more for looks, could the old geezers in the Town Cars and Caddys be classified as ricers?

    ^ its looks amazing on some cars, it all depends on the focal point of the car. I think a white vinyl top on my car would look good too: it all depends on the car and styling.
    On some cars, yeah it would look stupid, but if done tastefully: you can get it to really add to the cars overall "aura"

    It would probably cost the same to paint the roof, and it wouldn't look as bad.
