Got the roof and antenna wrapped in gloss black for my isf. The guy did remove the antenna and the roof layed perfect. The antenna though is one tricky s.o.b and requires there to be a line somewhere, mines not in the middle but down one of the edges and it's starting to lift. The wrapper (lol) told me to come by and he will redo the antenna. A part of me just wants to find a factory black antenna, buy it and install that. Good luck...

Just got de-chromed myself. For the roof, he didn't take the antenna off because he said it required 2.5 hours of labor to take off & replace. The result is a little bit of white showing and discoloration in the vinyl because it was stretched so much. I have a full car wrap on my other vehicle so I know vinyl work isn't always perfect, but am I being out of line here? It just looks mickey mouse to me. From a distance it looks great though.

For my grill i wrapped the inside edge first (where you have chrome showing), then cut it along the body line. Then wrapped over the rest of the grill in one piece with a seam along the body line where i cut the inside edge piece.
Not sure if you can see it from this angle or not, but this is my grill result.
As for the window trim, it is quite difficult to cut the edge just right along the rubber, but it can be done if you take your time with it.
Here's a pic of my window trim result.
Sorry the long post but I just had to give my 2 cents. I don't mean to talk down at all, but i just hate seeing people their hard earned money and end up with results they aren't happy with.

I was going to go with him but it might be a hassle since I'm in SD. He wasn't too crazy about doing the antenna as well. The shop I'm planning to go to did the vinyl for the fast and furious cars!
