Its purely for looks. Mercedes's panoramic roofs look blacked out, so people do theirs for the same look. Or they do carbon fiber to look like the M3/M4.

Its done with vinyl (can be painted, but will cost 10x as much and not be removable), and generally it would be a sign shop doing it or paint protection place. Installing tint and vinyl is completely different, so unless your tint shop also installs clear bras, they wouldn't be the ones to do it.

Yes. It gives the illusion of a Panoramic Roof. It is vinyl which can be made to look like ANYTHING you can imagine:

Flat Matte pink to Gold Chrome!




I have not looked into it, but it has become increasingly popular. Think of it as 'tint for your paint'. I strongly suggest you locate a very reputable paint and body or tint shop that has demonstrated ability.
