Wow, this looks awesome. You'd be hard-pressed to tell the difference between a real and fake carbon fiber roof from the pics. Very Impressive. I was ready to hate; but i just cant; it looks too good!

Question: Is this film stretchy? I think it would be sick if you could do this to the back of the mirrors as well to match

Wow looks nice. How is the finish of the film? Is there is more matte or glossy?

I'd love to do this since my roof is chipping.

You cant do a corner like a mirror no matter how stretchy it is. Youd have SOOO much extra in your corners regardless of if you pulled the crap out of it or not.\

Edit: Grids for sale huh...im totally pming you!!!

While im surprised they were able to do that, that is not an evo mirror and has a much different shape. I suppose it may be possible...but very difficult and probably not worth the time or effort.

It is not as difficult as you may think. I may do mine, just to show it can be done.
