Default wrapped the roof

well i got my roof wrapped today over at Elevated Auto Concepts in Pasadena, CA

I went with something a lil different than the standard black. I decided to do a brushed steel look. In person it looks like a hood of a rolls royce phantom that has not been painted and has that brushed look. I decided to try something new and hey its only a sticker I think it looks good and it matches the centers of my ADV.1 rims nicely!

The guys at Elevated were cool and did a great job they made sure to have everything trimmed perfectly and hidden / tucked away so you dont see any cut edges. They also do tons of other goodies from clear bras to painted calipers, entire car wraps and smoked tails so Im sure ill be back soon to get some other stuff done to the F.

I know this look might not be everyones cup of tea but in person it looks pretty dope with the brushed look and the slight sparkle.

Here are a few pics and sorry car was dirty well mainly rims! I will take some better pics hopefully tomorrow.

Amazing look! It turned out great. I like how it gives some contrast to the nice CF parts you have.

May I ask how much did this install cost? I'm also curious if they have competitive pricing for wrapping the rear lower valance.

Its hard to get a good feel for it in the pics. Different from the typical blacked out roof though.

Thanks guys both good and negative comments if *** looks like this than I'm fine lol

In person it looks really different it's hard to capture in pictures the brushed metal look. Like I said its only a wrap so if I don't like it in the long run I'll just pull it off

I wish I had a Ferrari lol tht one is bad ***!

The cost was $270 with vinyl removing the antenna was the worst part he had to pull down my rear interior roof panel removing rear pillars and the roof handles that took the longest to get the antenna off altogether it was about a 3 hour install they did a real good job making sure they prepped it right and put it back together nicely

I'll take more pics today

Yes arkym all the way just waiting on them to release the side skirts they told me any day now
