Default South Bay Area Shop for Black Vinyl Roof

Hi everyone,
I've been lurking around for a while but haven't really posted. I want to vinyl the roof of my car but most the shops that members have been talking about are pretty far away from me. Does anyone know a local shop in the bay area that will do it? Thanks for any help!

You'll get a much more useful response in the Northern California Lexus Club sub-forum. I'll move your thread now.

Epic images is the shop he chose and it seems like they did a very good job with a fair price.

PM the member for more details..

Im telling you. EPIC IMAGES knows what they are doing. Itll be worth your drive. It took me two other shops that did crappy jobs before i said F it, its worth the drive.

The guy has his WHOLE car vinyled! Youll be surprised when you see it. Its worth it. And $120 is more then fair price.

Just curious, will the vinyl roof damage the paint if you decide to take it off?

Bringing it back from the dead but...I went to EPic images today and they do 2 piece for the roof, so there will be some overlapping and seams. Did they do the same for yours? I saw the vinyl they use and it's not very thick or sturdy.
