Doing the roof this weekend, and the rear valence. I'll post pics as soon as I finish.

The cheapest place I found including shipping was Metrodecals.com
I bought a 48"x72" roll. Should be enough for pillars, roof, and rear valence and an IPAD. LOL

Depending how you arrange to cut the pieces from the roll, you may need a bigger roll to do the stuff. Make sure you double check before ordering.

How does this stuff hold up to the elements (rain, sun, etc etc)? When removed for replacement, does it come off cleanly?

Looking forward to it... The roof lines seems challenging to say the least.

This stuff is the best on earth. so easy to wrap stuff. All it needs is a little heat, then it becomes very shape conforming. It took me 15 minutes to do my Ipad. Took about 30 mins for the b pillars. The best part is, if it becomes wringled, just add a little heat from a heat gun, then it smoothens out. The hard part is cutting the extras off the side neatly. According to 3M, the stuff is rated for 3 years outdoor on a vertical surface. They recommend using some kind of bonding agent which makes the installation permanent. I chose not to use it. If you saw my ipad thread, you know I don't modify anything unless its completely removable with ease. To remove the stuff, all it needs is a little heat, and pull off in small sections.

kenchan 06-23-2010 06:35 PM

RedNismo- would be able to do something for the headunit surround piece? id be very interested in replacing that trim to CF. :p

zZSoCalZz 06-23-2010 06:36 PM

Im sold! Gonna order a small pc to do my pillars.

It would be easier if the trim piece could be removed from the head unit. That way you could wrap around the edges to the underside. If the trim piece is not removable, its still possible to use Ni-Doc, but the cutting and trimming is much harder. I am stil experiementing with the application techniques.

Ztoon 06-24-2010 03:44 PM

Clean it, (rubbing alcohol), heat 'n wrap it. Amazing stuff. Even adhered to the complex curves of the shift ring.http:///Users/michaellord/Pictures/i...0/IMG_2325.jpg

209Z 06-24-2010 06:09 PM

so what size do i need if i want to hit up the whole inside trim?

Ztoon 06-24-2010 06:32 PM

Give a couple inches over for each piece. Keep in mind pattern weave direction. More complex pieces, allow for 2 tries, like I did for the shift ring.
(don't know why the frikkin pictures wouldn't load, check out my album).
I wouldn't by any of their applicators or cleaning solutions. Just rubbing alcohol to clean, an' your good to go.

209Z 06-24-2010 06:33 PM

what about the 3m tire spray?

Ztoon 06-24-2010 06:55 PM

Hmmm, don't know. Basically you want to remove any oils that could reduce adhesion. Tire sprays restore lustre, so it may contain silicone.

RedNismo 06-25-2010 12:02 AM

Dish liquid thinned out with water is the best. That's what I'll use to wash off the wax from my roof before installing the Ni-Doc.

RedNismo 06-29-2010 12:14 PM

New pics updated
 
Finally finished with the roof. Didn't have enough time to finish the rear diffuser. That's going to be the hardest part to do. New pictures are up on my original post. Note to self:self, do not pull on the di noc too much after applying heat to it. It stretches slightly and changes the color a little bit.

zZSoCalZz 06-29-2010 12:23 PM

Roof looks amazing! Can't wait til my supplies come. Did you use heat gun or just a house hold blow dryer?

TacoZ 06-29-2010 12:52 PM

Very nice! I like!

wishihadnav 06-29-2010 01:03 PM
