Oh, I KNOW it can be done... 
so how much, how much, how much?!?!
you can't keep people hanging like this! Seriously!!!
And I REALLY hope the entire headliner doesn't have to come off - I'm kind of concerned that they might mess smth up or smth...
Oh, related news: I went to a local shop today and got quoted $250 (with what felt like room for negotiation, if there's more than one person doing it) for alcantara wrapping of the steering wheel - takes a day to complete, gotta leave the car - they do it without taking of the steering wheel. I'm really thinking about this bc the original leather on mine is beginning to show it's age. At any rate, I thought you'd be interested in smth like this too...
Either or IMO - again, a case of "to each his own", I guess...

quotes:
i called a place in lincoln called no limit wraps. they said 300 to do just the roof and 400 for roof and fin. this wasnt a for sure estimate because they want me to come in and measure it. they said the headliner has to come out for sure. also on a side note this place said there would be NO seams
second quote is coming from a place called revolution wraps. my boyfriends brother knows them and he emailed them and is waiting on a response. i am hoping they will do it for 200ish.
both quotes are them using their product. i guess i could buy some from the guy on the forum selling it but that would be a pain in the ass and most likely not worth it.

You're so reliably excellent 
FIY when I asked a local shop, they told me $100 if I bring my own material. I think - I think - the material can be purchased for about $40 per meter (~3ft), so $200-250 with their material is en EXCELLENT deal. I'd look at their prior works for sure though - preferrably some older ones to see how the vinyl ages.

me too, trust me it gets so annoying dealing with the people in lincoln. they dont know poo about mods for one and they dont know poo about bmws. frustrating when i ask them something and they just look at me like why are you doing that?
Typical remark to me: "Scott, why do you need a car. What a waste of money. If I want a car I just take a cab or rent". They just don't get it.Must be tough loving and modding your BMW in a town with few BMWs.

Hey, new to this forum, surprised I missed this thread, figure my buddies would put in a few words for me, guess not. I have my whole roof including the shark fin covered with Vinyl Gloss Black. Unfortunately my Photobucket is down atm.... But here is a link to the pictures I posted a while back, you could keep checking it and hopefully it'll be up soon! LoL
