you dont think he's making profit? lol you expect to use his connection and time for trial and error for free or what? chobble is this pre cut for direct install or buyer responsible for their own cutting?

the second roll we ordered cost much more than the original therefore it will be more a piece. if U can find a high quality piece of HIGH GLOSS BLACK vinyl in a 48" X 60" piece online for cheaper buy it! we charge $175 with the install...

as of now we dont have any templates made up yet but we did a new G sedan and my sedan with just trimming it out. the new sedan even had a white shark fin that we left white and it looked pretty cool. i dont have any the new glossier stuff on yet b/c my friend has been busy at his shop but i will post photos up as soon as i get it on this week.

the install was pretty easy if u kind of know what ur doing. we soaked the 48x60 piece of vinyl with a light soap-alcohol mixture and it took 3 of us to set the single piece down on the roof. then we worked out all the air/water bubbles with a non abrasive pad type thingy my firend uses for vinyl. then he did the trimming around the sunroof & side moldings where needed. after that he goes over it with a heat gun to "stretch" it so it kind of molds to your roof in a way.
