vinyl roof - Honda Pilot

stellaj908 · 01-19-2013, 04:21 AM

I was just wondering if the roof can be customized with like a vinyl cover. Like a silver body and black roof?

That would be interesting

I was thinking about doing some of the grill, maybe the chrome on the hatch and bumper step, and found some videos of 3M Carbon Fiber vinyl being installed on a mini. Looked fairly easy but would probably be a PIA to do on the Pilot.

Would kind of look like a Jeep from a distance. Just hope someone doesn't try to cut it to try and get inside. ;-)

That's a lot of vinyl. Not for me but I do applaud you for thinking outside the box. I would mock it up with something cheap or photoshop using a black Pilot to get a better idea first. Keep us up to date.

Just my 2 cents, but that vinyl stuff would look like @ss on the Pilot.

I agree. There's a reason that vinyl tops ceased to be.

Plus, the roof isn't designed for a vinyl top. Very difficult to terminate it and have it look good.

Vinyl roofs are so rare few know how to do one.
How about getting a vinyl wrap in textured Matt black?
At least if you change your mind, wraps can be removed without permanent damage.

With the height of the Pilot, would anyone even notice the customized roof anyways??
