I hate to be the carbon fiber guy, but

Does anyone have their roofs wrapped in carbon fiber? lol

Any info on the cost and process of doing this would be appreciated!
Thanks,

Wesley.

I did the 3m carbon black matte for 180$ including labor...

Got it done awhile back, however after a long story, it ended up getting painted black i will attach photos, the last. Had my backlights tinted too. Cost roughly 300 for the wrap.

I got quoted $575 for a roof wrap with gloss black. What the heck?

Is anyone selling these roof wraps as a kit or is it strictly a DIY mod at this point???

Premium Auto Styling has a 'kit'. But its basically a large sheet of vinyl with a hole cut out for the antenna. And according to a picture a couple pages back, the hole isn't the right size.

I may just get a 4'x5' sheet of vinyl and take off the antenna. I think that would look way better than try to wrap around it anyway.

Thanks Grimlock, aside from the hole being the wrong size I'd imagine it would be a huge PITA to get the hole lined up right anyways. I think I'm going to go the route you suggested and just get a sheet of vinyl and remove the antenna for installation.

I submitted a question to Premium Auto Styling on their website asking if the issue of the wrong size antenna hole has been resolved with a link to this thread so they could see the pic of ZEXs car. I think they misunderstood my question but at any rate here was their response:

Hello,

Wow very sorry about this. From the looks of the pictures you may have been shipped the wrong item. The picture posted looks to be the roof wrap kit from a genesis coupe. When you purchased from our web store did you create an account? I want to give you a store credit so you can purchase once more. Deeply apologize for the mixup.

Sounds like it was a mixup, and its good to see a company willing to stand behind their product and make things right

. I PM'd ZEX about this since it was his car the picture was from, if anyone knows him point him to this thread so he can reach out to them to get it resolved.
