I'm not really into performance mods due to potential insurance and warranty issues. Although, I will probably replace the air filter with a K & N one before the 10k service.
But, I'm quite tempted to..
A) Get my roof vinyl rapped with a gloss black vinyl. I didn't want or need a sunroof but like the look of the black roof. Thinking it shouldn't cost more than about $250
B) Considering colour coding my wheel centres in fiery red. I think I could do this myself and would clear coat it for longevity.
Thoughts...
I already know Craigb is not keen and me thinks SWMBO (Trish) would probably also be negative about the wheel idea too..
I will probably do a mock up of the wheel idea with photoshop and post the pictures on here when I get home to my PC.
Could Steve or a moderator add a poll to this thread if they get a chance as I'm not sure how to do it on tapatalk.
Cheers,
Dazz!

Dazz, If you're going to black wrap the roof even more reason to leave the centre caps black which will accentuate the black highlighted roof.
No harm in doing a mock up with photo shop though, cheaper than a $30 can of Plasti Dip.
Kamini probably knows of a photo app for your phone which will do what you're wanting, I'll ask her once she's back from work.

Black roof - Black centres.
Red roof -Red centres.
Don't forget the number plates,
Red background & Black letters.
Saw a set like that the other evening, the black went to white when headlights hit it. 😮

I think some of your "silver & black " rubbed off onto Dazz , :lol:

Craig,Hopefully more the black :Good_luck: adding more colour to a vehicle that's already such a strong colour is going to look to much imo but Dazz is a big boy and has to make his own decisions :D

Red pinstriping around the hub may be much nicer than a full red fill.

One of the fiery red votes was mine just to get the results... :snigger:
Did a quick photoshop (But I'm no expert at that stuff) Doesn't look too bad, but leaning towards doing black vinyl roof and leaving them black to match now.

Here's a thought: get the wheels off and spray the brake calipers red! :P
Nice lateral thinking Gonz! :idea: :victory:

Those pic's confirm what I already knew Dazz, I'd still leave em black even if not doing the roof.
After seeing the centres in red , I now agree with Craig Dazz.
They are one ugly centre, would make them stand out worse than dogs balls as they say.

Trish doesn't like the sound of the blacked roof ( I said it won't make any sound) :whistler:Better to just do it if you want Dazz and don't mention it to Trish, and she probably wouldn't notice it was done :D

Old Velosters used to have coloured coded wheel inserts Dazzler, they were SO COOL & stood out like dogs ballsThanks for that Scott. I'd forgotten. The Veloster plus :goodjob:Miss my inserts that is balls still there I beleive though it has been rather cold in Perth this winter

Some of the boys on here are just tooo conservative!
I think I'll end up getting the gloss black vinyl on the roof. Do you like that look Scott?
