Roof Vinyl Wrap Thread
The guy I bought my 06 off had a poor clear done on roof. Not major at the moment, but I want to get a black vinyl roof on it. Thoughts? Look pretty decent.
Will have black wheels as well when done.

If you lay vinyl over a bad clear, there will still be sh*tty clear underneath it.
I have a gloss black vinyl on my roof and think it looks perfect, but I would definitely get the paint fixed before I'd go covering it up.
You're doing a roof wrap for the wrong reasons...

Mad props for the originality .
This doesn't make any sense to me. I'm assuming part of the reason he is doing the vinyl is to not have to pay to have the roof to be re-done. If he's gonna pay to do the roof again then why pay for the vinyl if the roof is already fixed. There is more than one reason to do roof vinyls.
Also, with vinyl wrap, you will be able to see any imperfections of the substrate. And, if the clear coat isn't good, the vinyl will likely lift.
I'm all for saving money so don't get me wrong, but this is just a bad idea.

Here's one of the 350z's that I did some vinyl work on while up in the bay area / norcal. The owner of this silver 350z wanted me to vinyl wrap his roof in my gloss black material. His windshield, side windows, and rear windshield were also tinted. He wanted to give it a continuous flow / look from the roof to the front/rear windshield, which is what we got with the final results once everything was done. It looked good. The gloss black matched nicely with the glass.

That is definitely different. It's trickier when putting something like that with a design on it, since you have to be extra careful not to stretch it too much when applying it to the roof/piece or else it may distort the image.

Been in norcal doing some work for the last couple of days. Here's a 350z that I did while up here so far.
Gloss roof, tinted tails/turn signals:
For the last two weekdays that I'll be available for work, I have the following:
31st - 11am and 430pm
1st - 1PM-430pm.
Let me know, last chance to get some of the awesome deals I've been giving out, while I am up here.
I am going to offer and extend a special discount for only you 350z guys, so PM me and you won't be disappointed by the price I quote/give you do your roofs.
thanks.

What percentage tint was used on these tail lights?
I believe since mine is about 4 years old it might be time for a swap out due to oxidation.
I will hit you up if I can't figure out something to bring back the shiny look of the vinyl. There is also a product from Chemical Guys that I might try out.
