White Z - Glossy Black Vinyl Roof

kenchan · 03-08-2010, 12:08 PM

good job. looks like a clean install. no white showing on the edges. did you tuck it under or take the side bits off the roof?

Yeah good work. If you didn't say otherwise I'm sure people would think you'd done it before easily.

I'm not a fan of the haziness.... Is that the norm with a product like this?

Yea I thought it would be more glossy, almost looking like glass, but I guess not

if you want it glossy, after letting it dry for a week try some wax.

i use to wax my MINI's bonnet stripes all the time. very glossy like the rest of the car.

How hard is it to cover the xm radio/navigation "fin" for people with the touring/nav package?

i dont remember the exact amount but roughly around $150-$200 for the install and the overlays. its been almost a year and they look good as new

outside etc

amuzement · 09-17-2011, 08:02 PM

Would this get too hot and start to bubble?

my wife is wrapping her mini cooper right now, so we had to do some looking. it depends on the vinyl. the higher quality stuff breathes, so no.

but a cheap vinyl won't let air through, so it has the potential for problems. of course, it's cheap by definition, so if that happens you just pull it off and forget about it.
