Default Roof wrap pics

I got my car back this past Saturday and it turned out great. I am very impressed and I wanted to share pictures with the forum.



Shout out to Charlotte Vehicle Wraps in Charlotte, NC. They did a great job.

Looks great. Did they have to remove the headliner to get to the shark fin antenna or did they just work around it and separately wrap it?

They removed the headliner based on the numerous finger prints. The shark fin looks painted.

Nice. I wish I had the skill to DIY roof wrap. I can however wrap the window chrome trimming from past experience. That may be my next plan.

How long did it take you to do that yourself? Definitely looks better with the chrome dekete.

I'd say about 2 hours with the help of a friend for the roof then maybe another hour for the chrome delete. It was only our second time vinyl wrapping a roof and we needed to use knifeless tape because there isnt a roof trim to tuck the vinyl in

How did you do the shark antenna? Did you paint it or wrap it? Do you have a link of all the supplies you used? Thinking of doing mine sometime this weekend .I've wrapped a roof once, it was hail damaged, dented, and scratched lol .

This might be easy.

Thanks!

That looks great! I wanted the Atomic silver but couldn't find one, ended up with the Nebula grey instead,.
I would love to do that to mine but it's kind of pointless with the darker gray.
