only thing with matte is if you use wax/polymer sealants to prolong the vinyl's durability it turns glossy. hahaha

Does anybody ever have the fangs wrapped instead of painting them? I was toying around with the idea of doing the roof as well but haven't seen anyone do it that didn't have their fangs painted also. Could I get away with just the roof? I know a guy that installs clear bras and I would just have him do it but seems like a lot of work to do the fangs and one would might a lot to do them

I think it looks great. But then again that is my opinion and I have yet to have anyone say they dont like it. More than I can remember complementing it.

the only ones I have seen that look good are glossy black with dark tint on the windows. This makes the roof look like its also made of glass. Dont think flat black will look good.

Also on the 3M cabon fiber. I wrapped my a-pillar in this back in april '12, it held up great no peeling and no fading until i tried to add some shine to it by using products for car shows. Now there is this white cake on it that only goes away when I add more shine. Becareful if you do this and dont use any products on it. Me, I plan on removing the 3m and get a seibon a-pillars with a real carbon roof cover next.
