lol the roll should be in today or tomorrow! ill def post some photos up when its done. install should be fun...my main conern is trimming out the sunroof area perrrrfectly.

a few of the florida guys were interested in the vinyl roof as well but whatever is left ill be more than glad to hook everyone up. I may even make a template for coupes and sedans, get a couple more rolls and just sell em!

I think you might find it accentuates the tall narrowness of the car.

how was it installed? was it just like tinting a window? or you had to add adhesive? what will the outcome be if you were to take it off? (peeling paint, etc).

oh, it looks great too. i might want a piece soon as i know how to do it.

no adhesives or residue will be left when its removed. it will actually protect ur paint. i claybarred my roof before hand for the helk of it. i popped out the 2 side moldings...it was applied simply by wetting the big sheet on vinyl and then working all the bubbles out. then with a heat gun u can strech/trim the areas along the front/sunroof/rear of roof...
