I still cant figure out what i want to do. Definitely doing the roof, and want to figure out if I want to do the middle of the hood/whole hood and/or the trunk. Also, cant decide, plastidip (gun), gloss black vinyl, CF vinyl.
not the same stuff as I posted btw.. the only place I've seen with black is metro

gloss black it is. Not just gotta figure out what to do with the interior. I keep seeing pos/neg things about Duplicolor vinyl/fab spray. I need to do my seats, door panels, and carpets.

On a difficulty scale, how hard is it to wrap stuff? I've never tried it or had experience with wrapping. I've tinted windows before and can pretty good at doing that other than some cars back windows. Is it about the same concept?

Same concept when it comes to flat, light curved areas ( roof,hood ect ) I have a small vinyl business and do carbon wraps here and there. 3M Di-noc is a dry carbon, which in reality is not really meant for automotive use. Its more of an interior decorating film. It does hold up well outdoors but removal is another story. The glue this leaves behind is a night mare. Also if your car has been repainted in the areas you are applying it to, you may run into paint lifting when removing. I have been using Hexis carbon wrap and ritramas new line of carbon. Both meant for automotive use and both have a shine. Hexis can be found online in precut sheets just like the 3m di-noc.

when you guys do the roof, do you remove the drip rail trim? AFAIK at least the 08+'s were all black, but previous years are body color.

BTW i painted my interior this past weekend, and it looks like the XM antenna is held on with one 10MM bolt. easy to get at if you drop the headliner. IMO i would go this route if i were to wrap a roof. then poke a hole for the bolt, then you know you have complete coverage.
