I've also got a wrapped roof.



And I also have the front center piece of the aero lip wrapped.

I'm sorry, but since I dont have a cowboy hat or ed hardy T-shirt it was impossible to understand a darn word that guy said in the video. However, the logical leap of faith that he was an epic douche bag and should wrap his stupid truck in that stupid film was strongly received.

My buddy and i wrap my roof just last night.. despite the very amaturish install (meaning me and my friend) and poor quality of the carbon fiber vinyl , i really really like it. Now when i get a longer time off at work, we will redo the roof again with 3m 1080 vinyl wrap and take our time..

Your rooftops look GREAT! The black on white is sick. I have to figure out what I'm gonna do. Any horror stories on removal (i.e. clear coat gone after vinyl removal)?

I just got a quote of 3500 including install for a matte finish with carbon trimmings. Still shopping around.


@EVOVIIIFL - why not wrap a car with horrible paint job?

I had mine done.. about 30 hours install time to complete. 3M 1080 Matte Aluminum Metallic.





Expect anywhere between $2500 - $4000 for a wrap job.. (all based on talent of installer)

opinions and what not on wrap

i know some will say go with what you like but i am trying to decide on a look for my gg. just wondering if any gg's have done a wrap and if so what colors did you use? im thinking of wrapping due to the fact that i have a carbon kevlar hood, a seibon rear diffuser thats either gold weave or ck. and a do luck regular cf trunk. i was leaning towards matte black but any opinions would be welcome. i dont really want to cover everything since i like the look of the do luck since its JDM. lol
