overlays

Post by **lilturtl17** » Sat Feb 28, 2009 2:23 pm

what do you guys think of tailight overlays and the roof overlay on a dark slate altima coupe?

oh and where would be the best place to order a borla exhaust and how much should be be expecting to spend?

Got a dark slate coupe myself, def staying away from the roof overlay. As for the light ones I keep going back and forth. My latest thing is liking the contrast that the red brake light housing has with the dark slate.

it's the opposite with mine. I have a red coupe and got LBC's GTR overlays and the dark overlay in contrast with the red looks great. Different when it was all red.

I do agree though with the roof overlays...stay away

***EDIT***

Looking at BlackNWhite's pic, I've decided that the overlays look hot!

Aww, why is everyone hating on the roof overlay? I think mine looks good.

yeah, not sure why there's all the hating going on with the roof overlays.. when installed correctly, you can't tell the difference between the roof overlay and the roof painted black! I have bluebatmobile's roof overlay on my silver coupe.. and I love it!

^On that note... on Thursday as I was parking in a parking lot a guy was parking in front of me at the same time.

When he got out he told me, "Nice car." Then he got closer and asked, "Wow, these come with all glass roofs now?"

Lol, I just thanked him and told him that it was a vinyl overlay. He was amazed. He went up to it and touched it to make sure.

i LOVE the black roof, iunno y so many people hate it

Post by **BlackMamba08** » Sat Feb 28, 2009 11:36 pm

i'd totally get the roof overlay if my car wasn't already black...

I like black roofs, but not on the coupe. Why? because there isn't a clean transition between the roof/c-pillar and the rear window. When you black the roof out, it just looks a bit out of place on an otherwise well designed exterior.

BlackNWhite....Love the car, the rims and the overlay. Wonder how it'd look on my car?

I noticed you don't have that omnidirectional antennae. How would that work with the overlay?

Thank you, thank you.

There's only one way to find out how it would look on your car...

... or Have Medi PS it.

And I belive Bat makes a cut out for that antennae... or when you're installing it you make a cutout for it.

You would probably need some extra vinyl to cover it. I think NISSAN4LIFE had this problem. I think he covered it with a sharpie. Or someone might've just been joking with me.

Oh god I hope they were joking with you. I would not even entertain the thought of taking a sharpie to my car. If some one really did this..then...

Or maybe you just leave it as is.

Of course Andy! It wouldn't be possible without you! Shoot me an e-mail if you want some other angles and what not. I just haven't uploaded them all to photobucket but I can send them to you as attachments easier.

Roof overlay is on my list of things to buy

Post by **Dest556** » Mon Mar 02, 2009 5:57 pm

A white coupe with the black overlay is definitely hot.But not as hot as a white coupe with scribble overlays. 2hawt

there were a few key ways the folks at Nissan attemtped to give the Altima Coupe some distance from its G35 brother.... the rear window/quarter panel being one of them... the G35 has the continuous line you speak of from the C pillar to the trunk, so does the 4th generation Altima Sedan...but they changed that up on the coupe... again, I think it was done purely for cosmetic reasons to further seperate the A/C from the G (the car that they obviously borrowed about 85% of the styling cues from)

but that being said, after installing the roof overlay on my car, I can't imagine it without it.. looks much better IMO, and again, a hell of a lot cheaper than getting the roof painted black!
