very nice. i was thinking about doing a checkered roof on my car also. how much did you pay for yours? and the white on the top is more 'white' than the actual car is it not?
(have a pw mini also. but worried that the white part on the checkered part is more pure white and would look weird on the car..)

thx guys, yes the white on the roof is a bit whiter than the car because the car is now realy white, the roof was black so my local guys put white checkers on it, thats why they are a bit "whiter" but on white roof black checkers would look even better, well the white will be the same as the car

Nice roof i got one too,



The dealer actually did mine believe it or not. Nice part is that you can see through the sticker so you can still get some light through the sun roof.

Great choice! Of course you can see by my signature I'm a bit biased toward checkers!

Yep, but what's holding you up on the rear view mirror and the door handles, TG ?!

I can't even tell you how much I want the rear view mirror cover! They don't make it for the 2002. What's up with that!!! I hear the door handles are a bit of a b-dog to install. In the future maybe. I do really want the rear view mirror cover. Anyone know if I can install a newer rear view mirror without a major pain so I can add the checkered cover?
