    I think there was someone on here who did a black roof vinyl on their new Lancer. JDM FLOW maybe. I can't really remember. Somebody help me out.

    It was flow. I really don't feel like looking for his pr. It hasn't been updated in a while.

    tbh, i would have a pro do it. it involves a lot of time and effort and patience. if you want to do it yourself, i would not suggest doing this by yourself.

    Did he do his with plasti-dip? Wouldn't that work?

    It would be difficult to apply plastidip evenly on the roof. Better off with a vinyl.

    That's cool. It will more than likely look good. I like the black roof look.

    I'm anxious to see how this would look. If it turns out well, I'll consider it. But when the idea came to mind I rejected it, because it seemed like it would be too fancy for a Lancer.

    nothing's to fancy for a lancer, Helix should add those lambo doors to make the car have that extra cool look. LMFAO :D

    Blacked out roof always looks clean on a white car. The new Maximas come with, I think. And someone on here did it with a white Lancer. Looked nice.

    I'm pretty sure they do. Every one I've seen has had a black roof. Well, every white one. Seems like that's the only time I notice it, every other color is dark. It might also be a glass roof. Kind of like on the tCs. Not really sure.
