Actually i have 1 more request... is it possible to make it a bit longer and wider than the actual roof? I think it would look really clean if we could tuck it in into the rails on the sides + under the front rubber molding. I think 1/2 - 3/4 of an inch extra would do the trick.

isn't it going to be difficult to get the seam perfect on the CF vinyl?

Ask and ye shall receive.

First of all, thanks to Andy (BlueBat) for correcting the issue I had earlier when the wrong size overlays were mailed out (see my post on the previous page). I talked to him on the phone and he straightened everything out - it was a bad batch that was cut. Real cool cat.

Next, some of you may have seen the other overlays I did (the rear valence and taillights). This job is much more tricky because of the sheer size of the overlay. Two people are necessary.

If you are familiar with tinting, it's a relative breeze. Make sure you drench both the roof and the peeled overlay with soapy water (I always use dish liquid) immediately after separating it from the white backing. Work with the rear piece first, as the seam should be below the front. Slide it into place, then remove the liquid underneath the overlay with a credit card. Use a heat gun on low power (or hairdryer) to dry it up, then trim the surroundings with a straight edge razor blade. Move on to the front piece.

Most importantly, be patient. Expect this to take an entire evening. If you rush it, it's going to look awful.

Any questions, I'll be glad to answer you.

Some finished photos:
