I think it is interesting as well. I am curious where you find your patience to work with this stuff? I <tried> putting a vinyl wrap on my chrome trim. Seemed like a great looking mod and was 20 bucks....what do I have to lose?

MY FREAKIN MIND is what I lost...OMG...this stuff is soooooooo freakin hard to work with. I mean nearly impossible. I did finish it. But I didn't do a very good job. Bubbles here, wrinkles there. I will keep it on for a while...but only until I get the cash to buy the shadowline trim. UGH!!!!! So pissed! Only because I thought for once I could get something at a cheap price....it looked great on the gallery cars :thumbsdown: Anyway, you have my respect....that stuff is THE WORST.

Seem OK for me, but I suggest take out the chrome trim first and stuff one by one. Cut that Vinyl wrap in 25mm width. Petty good and easy handle.

One chap in UK covered his whole car which was black to a white one. I am impressed with the stuff. I am sure a lot can be done with it. I would like to cover the stupid eyebrow (chrome part) section with a similar body colour though.

cheers

I am looking into having a local company here in Columbus vinyl wrap my whole car in flat black, I love that look and really want to transform my car. May not be for a while but I am looking into it.

I would like to get my whole car covered in white, that way I can have the best of both worlds!

More pictures of black roofs that I did over the weekend (don't mind the antenna cover that's not there, it wasn't put back on yet for the pictures):

Here's something a bit different. Matte black roof on a face lifted E90. Turned out fairly well. Not all cars can pull off a matte black roof/look, but this one did it very well.
