Some pictures from last week.
Matte black on the roof and center of the hood on a MkIII:
Gloss black on a E60 550i, which turned out being the hardest roof/car I've done to date:

that's my E60....we just heated it with a heat gun and pried it with a tool. Just be careful not to rush like i did other wise you may dent the top of the roof slightly. The rubber adhesive that holds it is very strong so you have to take your time.

I am sure with more heat and if you used a fishing line, the shark fin can come off without any problems.
I did an E60's roof yesterday, and the owner opted for me to work around the shark fin, so that's what I did. Both ways are possible. Removing the shark fin just makes it a lot easier to lay down the vinyl.
