My First Mod - Meet me halfway

If the wife is happy with it, then it looks good to me.

So I got the 5D High gloss from eBay seller integra2006hid, and although his pics show a similar weave to the OP's VIVID product, up close at macro level it looks quite different. I did a small trial and not pleased with the look. This is def not going anywhere near my car... And honestly even if the weave is identical, once you do it yourself you will always know it's not authentic, so to each his own, CF vinyl

If there was such option from factory I would do it, I love the moonroof as well.
