Two ways:

1. Paint

2. Vinyl overlay.


Search - there's a lot of talk about this on the forum these days.

Best way is to either paint or use vinyl. However, it's very difficult to vinyl wrap the shark fin so you will need to buy a black shark fin if you go with vinyl, or have the white sharkfin painted. Or just paint the entire roof.

Dude, that's retarded! To paint the fin is literally couple of hours, counting the drying time! just paint the fin black and be done with it.

And really, someone who knows what they are doing with vinyl should be able to get that fin wrapped pretty easily with a help of a heat gun or a blowdrier

Allow me to make my point clear (khm-khm):

DON'T WASTE MONEY ON BUYING A NEW FIN WHEN YOU CAN EITHER PAINT OR WRAP IT WO ANY PROBLEMS!

Why didn't you say it louder the 1st time?

Buy new fin = Bad :thumbsdown:

Paint/wrap old fin = Good

Got it.
