I know minimania has it, but does anyone actually have one? it seems like you could signal airplanes down with it.


im not ussually a big fan of chrome but this is pretty cool

 

Whoa , you could probably burn 'em out of the sky with that! That is way cool. In hot climates, it has to be THE most reflective roof there is. If I had a tintop, that would be #1 must-have. I wonder if you have to register it with the FAA....

 

ITs pretty cool, but for 2k...Ill pass.

 

Looks different. Wonder how it will wear, and how likely it would be to scratch . . . On a sunny day it would be dangerous . . .

 

(I can't believe I'm saying this)

What, the rims aren't also chrome? Needs chrome rims, too.

 

abuzavi. I agree. I usually hate chrome, but this would look very sharp with chrome wheels

 

Wow...we all know I love chrome but...yikes. I think I just found my proverbial "line"...

 

im 6'4" so i could use it as a shaving mirror

 

It would match Clos Bonnet stripes

But it would never work with the blackout look I'm going for.

 

I could imagine here in SoCal that rooftop could exceed 120 degrees in the summer- All that's missing is some Olive Oil and stiry fry vege's. Should keep the fingerprints off though.

A very unique mod.

 

I spend enough time trying to get rid of the chrome I already have...what a nightmare!

 

i suppose it could double as a bbq

 

Reminds me of the Mythbuster's Archimedes Death Ray

 

I wonder if they have actually ever sold one? hmm...

 

That would be perfect to blind the Hummer drivers behind you on a sunny day.

 

 

I don't know why (I'm not the world's biggest chrome fan), but I kind of like it. VERY different!

That was a great episode. Mythbuster's are the best. Too bad though with the roof the only thing you'll be aiming at are planes and Alien invaders.

You could save the world with that.

 

There's got be at least 1 MINI out there with it, maybe a SEMA car???????


Whos got it?

 

I think someone in Europe may have bought one

 

Chrome roof + driving into the sun = fried retinas for all SUV and truck drivers behind you.

It's an interesting way to reduce the number of large vehicles on the road

 

chuck, I too am not a big fan of chrome but i do really like the fact that it is so different. I just thought id see if anyone had seen one or had one. anyone?

 

Is the roof actually chrome? I remember reading about a completely chrome M3 a while back...it wasn't really chrome, but achieved using a special paint process that included a lot of clear coat.

 

Here's a link...

The paint that they used for that car, ALSAcorp's "Mirrachrome", doesn't quite have all of the shine and distinctness-of-image of true chrome, but it's by far the best "chrome-effect" paint I've ever seen. And it's perfect for soft plastic parts (like polyurethane ground effects kits) that can't be vacuum-plated, or for parts that would be prohibitively difficult to remove from the car to dip-chrome.

The biggest drawback is the cost. It's $150 for eight ounces, or $1200 per gallon. Plus, it's delivered "ready-to-spray", which means that you don't mix it with reducers or catalysts before applying it. With other uber-expensive paints, a $1200 gallon gets mixed with reducer to give you 1-1/2 or 2 gallons of sprayable paint. With the Mirrachrome, one gallon means one gallon, so the cost per *sprayable* ounce might even be higher than some of the exotic colour-shifting paints like House of Kolor's "Kameleon" paint that sells for almost $2000 per gallon.
