Thanks! I think it turned out very well... It was exhausting but worth it. RotchCrocket... The material I used is self-adhesive and 3M stuff is too. There really isn't a way to add adhesive to the vinyl other than if it lifts... add superglue. Kinda makes it permanent though... Most of the reason vinyl doesn't stick well is prep. Make sure the surface is clean, not waxed (the ONLY time I would wash my car with dawn dishwashing liquid) and then do a final cleaning with rubbing alcohol right before application.

Hey man,
I was curious if you used the same stuff to do your roof as the guys doing the interior pieces?! Also, did you apply it the same way as the interior pieces? I think this looks so badass but I know some guys were having issues with the pieces lifting during the summer months so they used stronger glue. Stronger glue is great and all, but how will that affect the paint?

Also, where did you buy your's from and what size did you get to do the whole roof? Thanks for your time!
Edit: Just saw on this site http://www.carbonfiberfilm.com/ that it is textured. Also says they have a 4 year outdoor (3 year desert) warranty?! I'm impressed... still curious on what size I would need though.

I've been doing some research on this stuff and it definitely seems pretty nice. What type of finish is it though? Is it simply a printed/smooth finish?! I think I read it's textured but I wasn't sure...

If you want less you can go here but it is more expensive:

And prob 4'x4' was enough for the roof lol i didnt measure how much i used but the 48" wide roll was a perfect width for the roof.

I got mine from this site where it is cheapest per sq. foot but you need to buy larger quantities:

Wanting to keep blue in the design and keep it something that looked airbrushed... I decided to go a different direction all together... Graffiti! Here is the design that's printed. A little crazy but it's something that will easily advertise what all we can do with wraps. Also it's blue... so I can keep my Ray's Lugs...

I felt it was more like something you may see at a skatepark... Either way it will change about every two weeks. It's just vinyl. I'm not married to it.
