i honestly dont like it, the car looks too good to put that crap over top of it. i vote for Real CF wrap or back the way you had it. the flat look doesnt look good

If you could clear the roof, I think it would look sick! The visors/handles/mirrors is overkill, not digging those. Nice work though, and A+ for doing it yourself.

I like the roof, think you went too far with the mirror covers and door handles, while throw off something body color that blends. You seperated flow there.

FTR DO NOT CLEAR

after taking a test piece to the painter. We applied it to a painted metal piece, cleared it and baked it. Let it sit in the sun for a while. and two complete elements were takin place. Di-noc expands in direct sunlight while the clear was trying to shrink. Causing you guessed it crackin and shrinkage..

When they used clear on the site video, they never really tested it actually on the car.


I could be wrong but this was our conclusion, so im leaving it flat as is.

Independent test confirms crackage. Tried it on a test section and left the peice outside and had the same issue. Too bad.
