Wrapped roof?

Hey all. So I am going in to get my chrome window trim wrapped black. What are thoughts on gloss black roof wrap? I saw a Velgen wheel shoot that was white with black roof. Looked like all glass continued from back window. I am 18 tint on back window not limo tint. Got the platinum graphite grey wonder if a wrapped roof would look right. Thoughts?

While we all have opinions, it's your car and your wallet. Do whatever makes feel all gooey inside.

Haha. Good point. I already know I like it. I am just curious my 18 tint will be too light to make it look like a continual piece of glass. And don't worry I won't be changing the hood or any part of trunk like those 2 tone Gs. Ugh

If it's done right it looks good. I had a quote for like 600 to do roof wrap on my m4 with dynoc CF 3m film. I ended up doing it myself. Duplicolor makes a spray wrap that peels off like plastidip but comes in many colors and finishes for 7 bucks a can. Try that and see if you like it worst case you peel it off. The devil is in the details, more prep you do the better the outcome. Take time in taping off edges and covering up areas you dont want overspray on. You can do a roof with 1-2 cans and takes less than a few hours, most of the time is the prep work.

I was quoted $200 by a company called Modish Wraps here in Houston. Reviews are good and looks like a legit company. I was told by others this sounds too cheap but I believe it will look good. I will post pictures in this thread after this weekend.

Some vinyla dont last as long or are as thick. They need to make sure they wrap the antennae or take it off and wrap around it.

Don't mind my terrible wheel set up. These are temporary. But I got this on Saturday. Super happy with it.

Also want to add that I decided to keep the antenna silver. It was removed and was supposed to be wrapped but I liked the contrast when they showed me before wrapping. They also said a lot of people have them wrap it first and do not like it.

If you want to wrap antennae later you can just tape around it off and use duplicolor spray vinyl
