Default Anyone here with a Wrapped Roof?

Thinking of wrapping my Blue RC with a glossy roof top. Curious to see if anyone here has done it already?

Really easy. Just get some strong fishing line and run it behind the emblems. Squirt goo gone on it too while using the string.. it'll come right off then use Goo gone again to remove the sticky stuff. I ordered new oem emblems off eBay for $20 to replace whenever I get rid of the car too

Just as an added little piece, use a little spray wax and go over the area after you remove the adhesive. From my experience, there will be a faint outline left in the paint that you can see if you're very close to the car. A few squirts of spray wax, a cloth, and a few seconds of elbow grease will remove that impression.

Sweet, thank you for both for the tip. I'll play around with it sometime this week.

That looks great....I'm also in the market for some wrap. I wanted to do the roof and certain trims on the car. What brand is it and how much...if you don't mind me asking?
