Default Best gloss roof vinyl brand to use ?

Alright, went got lense tent and smoked my taillights, reverse lights, and front reflectors. If you're thinking about doing it yourself, just a heads up for you, buy masking tape. The good kind. And atleast 2 rolls.

Anyways. Now I'm gonna order myself an overlay vinyl to black out the roof. Did some research on Google and eBay. Searched up "black gloss roof vinyl" and kinda gathered that 3M is probably the most reliable and best for the price range.
Anyone care to shed some light on the situation ?
I measured the roof and it's gonna take a 40x50 sheet to cover it with about 2 inches to play with. Any suggestions on what brand vinyl I should get and where from ?
Not looking to spend more than 80 bucks. But I will if it's best.
Cheers

None, your car looks Ok as is, why add sticky rice to it. As it sits now, best thing to improve the looks on it is to remove the 80's retro tinted lens crap.

What do you mean sticky rice ? :/

I like the smoked lights look, and once I tint the windows and put the roof overlay I think itll look real nice.
I appreciate the opinion tho

Not feeling the blacked out tails, besides it opens you to liabilities if you get in a wreck.

Remove the "smoked" lens, it looks horrible.
