I'd like to see a close-up of the material to see it the "texture" is really there of if it only looks to be there! My thought being that if you were to wax your car etc. would wax get stuck in the texture of the roof or not??

I ordered the matte but it isn't as matte as other vinyl that I have seen and it isn't as gloss as others I have seen so maybe it is semi-gloss.
Either way it matches perfectly to my CF accents already installed on my car. So I'm happy.
Also Don is an excellent vendor, good communication, always answered my questions right away, no matter how petty they were.
I live half way around the world from Don and had no shipping issues at all.
Will upload pics as soon as I have the vinyl installed, hopefully before the weekend.
