I work at Tysons Corner Collision Center and can probably work out a lower labor rate for you if interested.

I just got in from NOPI @ MIR and I saw this. Thanks for thinking of me, it should be an easy install maybe like an hour or so if that. Plus you can always change the color and mix it up and you can always take it off and you can wax it. I'll measure the roof on the Z tomorrow figure out the material and get a price.

Would everyone want black? I'd like to keep it to one color like black that way I can order a larger roll of material. I'm going to use a material from 3M called controltac which is the best material for wrapping things. It is the same material I use for vehicle wraps. It will be on one solid sheet no seems or cuts. Depending on how many people want this done I say $200 would do it and that is for the material and me to install it. We could even set up a day at a shop and I could spend a day doing lots of cars. Let me know.

Sounds good. Black is ideal. You're going to be doing G35s too right? We have Sunroofs! Will that be an problem?
