Yeah, I'll put them up tomorrow after work. I'm on my phone now. Only have far away, would like any certain looks? I can take more before I upload.

Anything is fine, don't make a chore of it whatever you can post should be good.

Can you wrap it over a shark fin antenna?

FR-Slide · 04-18-2013, 09:23 AM

Wrap or paint the shark-fin separately.

Looks much better that way, prevents bubbles and shape distortion over time. And it's way easier, aside from the R+R of the antenna.

Back around Christmas time my buddy and I wrapped my roof ourselves in gloss black. Total cost: $60.

I may take it off and do it again. It'l'l go much quicker the second time around, and we'll make less mistakes (there are a couple of small imperfections in the vinyl now, but nothing that makes me want to strip it off right away and I'm pretty anal retentive with my cars).

Maybe I'll change the color, or maybe I'll just get the roof painted Obsidian Black or something.

We wrapped mine in the 3Mdinoc after a failed attempt with Hexis Matte Black. That stuff was crap, you can't heat and stretch it at all without it tearing.

This is how my roof came out. It took a little bit of time because of the channel in the center of the roof. We used this "knifeless tape" so that you never have to put a blade to your paint.

About $100 for the vinyl and free labor aka DIY.
