Default Gloss Vinyl Roof Wrap

A big thumbs up to NYC Vinyl Wrap (Vlad and Dave) for a great job dong my gloss vinyl roof wrap. I always liked the look of the panoramic MBs and finally pulled the trigger. I received all types of price quotes and some shops even refused to wrap the side roof trim, which is a deal breaker for me because I like the streamlined look. I know others have done it but as of now, they're rare in NY. Here are some pics, what you guys think?

Thanks Bill! Former E39 owner myself (favorite car of all time).

That in 19"s because I have the Sport 18"s or Cobb V3. Just had my Jehnert Speakers installed, Alpine XD/600 goes in this weekend. I have Xdrive so offsets are tricky.

I've had 3 people pull over and ask me how I got the roof done and I only had it done Saturday.

Thanks guys, it's worth the look. And you can always peel off when you get tired of it. I've had quite a few people pull up and ask how I had it done and I've only had it done since Saturday.

Looks really good. Its nice to see someone who knows what they are doing to wrap the roofs. I had mine a while back and it took the guys 6 hours to do, and they did a absolutely terrible job and scratched the wrap like mad installing it. I later took it off.

Thanks Phil, our E60's are much harder than let's say E90's or Infiniti's because we have all this rubber trim. These guys worked the vinyl and neatly tucked it under the rubber trim by the windshield and sunroof. Very tedious job, 3 hours. Since the install, if I happen to walk past a vinyl roof, I come up close to check it out. Some are amazingly perfect, others are real cheap and mediocre jobs with bubbles, uneven cutting, and scratches. It really does matter who you go to.

Now how to make it shine like the glass?!?
