Default Panda spotted in Florida

Been going back and forth on getting this done, so decided to wrap instead of paint as it is can be easily removed.

Glossy black roof wrap done by Amplified Autosports in Tampa. I am happy with it so far.

Before


Roof getting wrapped


After





Would be a better shot if I was slammed

looks nice

I wouldn't worry about slamming it , you have a nice stance as is

What size wheels are they ? Almost look like 20's

Yep...looks great. I find this looks good only on white cars. My son's white IS300 has the same look. If my LS was white I'd certainly look at getting it done too. I also agree with leaving the stance as is. Looks perfect without looking "ridiculous" or silly.

I'm a fan of the wrap, wheels and stance too.

Thanks all. No plans on going any lower at this point. I agree it looks best on a white car. I had a black top on my old yellow MR2. It looked good besides all of the bumblebee comments lol.

Just wanted to know if it was hard removing the fin to wrap the roof? I was considering doing this also instead of painting it permanently.

I did not stay and watch, but as I understand, you have to drop the headliner. They suggested keeping the fin white or having it painted. I think it was because it is not easy to wrap without seeing edges, but not sure if that was why.

Is that Germaine that did the wrap? I have been considering this and in Tampa as well. How much did it cost and how long did it take? Can you tell the headliner was dropped or was it a clean re-install? Thanks!
