i'll help out if you need it. you'll probably need 3-4 people to do a full roof though to stretch it and hold it. i'd wait til spring time when its a little warmer to do the roof though. otherwise the vinyl will be really tight from the cold. you'd have to heat it somehow and i don't think a heat gun would cut it for something that large.

i've done lamin-x overlays on a few cars. they didn't turn out too well on my headlights cause i was in a hurry and i was doing it outside at dusk though, but the one i started while it was still light out is ok.

I've already installed about 4 different headlight/tailight bat's overlays. you are going to need it to be warm outside, spray bottle of soap and water, bucket of soap and water, a soft cloth, a plastic applicator (old credit card is fine), and a blow dryer.

You wanna do the Bats overlays on my clear corners? My old ones are messed up, so I need to remove the old set and apply the new one.

The cool thing about Bat's stuff is it doesnt need much stretching at all. He uses good material and everything always fits great'

Well they didn't fit that great, which is why they look like crap up close now. Luckily he's a good guy and sent me a replacement set.
