It just doesn't look right, take it back to stock. And definitely lower the car back down.

Really don't think you need a black/cf hood and trunk to have a black roof. Several cars come from the factory with a black/cf/glass roof with painted hoods/trunks (e93 M3, Scion TC, etc).

But I think on an Accord it may be more of a necessity due to it just being an older car and the surfaces of the hood/roof/trunk not lining up. But for me, for some reason the spoiler is killing it more than anything....not sure why though. Or maybe it's just that the car is red, black roofs tend to look better on silver or white cars imo.

Exactly ... it looks like crap/an afterthought/not factory looking. Whatever way you want to say it, it doesn't look right.

compare the accord

Well Denver has lots of potholes and poorly maintained streets. Boulder is very hilly so it's hard to go certain places without scratching the bottom.

I don't get the luxury of perfect California / Florida / Vegas roads.


im slammed as fuuuuuckkk and i live in the hood aka worst roads you can imagine.. city dont care about this part of town.. and im fine..



but any way to the main point of this thread.. imo you need a cf hood and maybe a cf trunk to pull the black roof off

Hey sorry for only showing up once in a while. Anyways, I removed it about a week after I installed it. It was a horrible experience, there was a few hot days and the vinyl left sticky crap all over the top of my car and took days of cleaning with lots of chemicals and scrubbing to get it all out.

Lesson learned: ricer stuff like this is never touching my car again. Looks good on newer cars that were designed for it but this looked like a wannabe thing to do.
