Down Shift Graphics Roof Vinyl Install

Just had my G coupe installed with a roof overlay in gloss by Daniel from DownShiftGraphics. (add.com for website) Wasn't sure about his overlays and not sure about his skills. Took the chance anyway, and I'm glad I did. My vinyl overlay came out awesome! It's a one piece overlay, unlike other overlays out there that are two piece.
My first choice was to go to Batsoverlay but having to order, wait in the mail and then finding someone to do install was going to take too long. I wanted it now. lol
DSG is located in Inland Empire and will drive to you. His prices are within budget and not overpriced, especially for the work he does which is warrantied.

I'm not part affliated with his business just giving him props for his work and letting other G members know how happy I am and maybe you'll be happy too.
does all type of vinyl installs

here some pics of install on my G

Enjoy

Painted roofs FTW. Black roof overlays look OK from a distance, but their reflection (or lack of) is horrible if you're within a few feet, especially if you have a sunroof to compare the reflection to. Not to mention you can't detail the swirls out of overlays. Don't get me wrong,

oh well, when it comes to trading the G in or tired of the black roof. Ill just remove the vinyl.

paint is nice and does looke better buts its permanent. I was able to remove much of the swirls by using meguires swirl removal.
