See through Vinyl for sunroof

So I have the ns1 style stripes, and similar to other stripes transformers, anniversary, etc they continue onto the roof. The sunroof kind of breaks up the look though. I was thinking of ordering see through vinyl to overlay the sunroof and keep the look going. What do you guys think would that work any idea where I could order see through vinyl in a IOM?

The sunroof is tinted. The orange wouldn't really show up.

? I'm thinking color matched vinyl on the outside. So it continues the look of the stripes.

Are your stripes black? If so, you could buy some clear vinyl with matte texture, that would make it appear as if the stripe continued over the window. Come to think of it, I might just do this since my NS-1 kit is matte black.

Go to your local decal shop, they will make any color you want. I see these vehicles all over town that have decals over the windows that you can see right through..

Also, no factory stripes on the roof of a 45th Anniversary if you have a sunroof...

If it's transparent, the color underneath will show through (tinted glass + the dark color of the interior). The only way it's going to look "orange" is with regular opaque vinyl.

Ah, makes sense.
