White Z - Glossy Black Vinyl Roof
 
Just put on a glossy black vinyl wrap last night, only took about 2 hours. They wanted 180 and to leave my car over night to do it around where I live, I paid $100 for the vinyl (have a bunch extra left over) and the tool kit with free shipping. Ill put more pics up tommorrow all I have is the one from my phone for now sorry.

Cool! How hard was it to do and where did you get the kit?

Was a lot easier than I thought. Def do it with 3 people though, I did it with one other person and at some points I really could have used a third. If your doing it on a 350 it will most likely be much easier, the roof contours on the 370 screwed me a few times. And when using the heat gun be real quick and before you use the tool to smooth out the bubbles let it cool, I have a few little marks (like 1/4" lines) where it looks like it was melted when I tried to push bubbles out. I got the kit from stickercity. Shipping to NJ took about a week

Well no matter how you feel about this particular mod or how you choose to express your feelings on the subject, keep in mind he used a vinyl wrap, which is removable and actually protects the paint at the same time.

In for finished (better) pics :tup:

I'm looking forward to some better pictures. :tup:

These pictures will decide whether I go with a gloss black or a flat black on my roof. Thanks! Haha.

Wish I had practice on another car first, but I don't think it came out that bad for my first time.

Hardest part was cutting the sides, without scratching the paint or cutting the rubber, this is where I screwed up a little, but only if you look really close will you be able to tell.

Cutting the front and back was pretty easy, just cut along the glass.
