Golden RooftopsFor those of you who like gold plated cars but are not willing to go the same extremes as the Russian owner of the Porsche 911 that covered his entire car in the precious metal (see here), London-based firm, Alchemist, specializes in applying a lustrous coat of 24-carat gold to the roof of any car. Alchemist uses a new patented process to cover a car’s roof with the purest gold leaf. Prices start at £12,500 or about $23,300 / €15,700 and each rooftop is signed and numbered and the client presented with a certificate of authenticity. -Continued

And if a gold plated roof top isn’t tacky enough, wealthier clients can also opt to embed precious gemstones into the gold leaf for a sparkling effect. Once that’s done you may want to pay a visit to your local jeweler and get a matching gold grill inlaid with precious stones to complete that blingy Midas look...

    Golden roofs are for poseurs and styleless turds, how undervalued you have to be to buy such a thing? Also a complete waste of the car.

    I suppose since BMW started the carbon fiber roof, rich folks who don't get 'it' think it's cool to follow thru with any other material of choice.
    Anyway, I think this is less than smart.
