Black roof wrap

EBIIF30 · 02-24-2014, 09:18 PM

Had this done this weekend , overall really happy with the outcome and look of it. Gives the car a much sportier look.

Because that would look cheap as hell.

The real question should be... Why not wrap the shark fin?

Carbon fiber would look terrible. And the shark fin is very hard to do and i wanted to keep it blue

I think it looks great without the shark fin being foiled.

Also cf is looking cheap unless ita a real cf roof.

Looks good. Been thinking about doing this on Glacier Silver, but my concern was the shark fin. In your case the darker blue the fin does not stick out bad, but with mine being silver I am thinking it would look cheap.

Looks great!

I had my previous car's roof wrapped, but the downside was that I had to be very careful with it during washing, and this prevent me from going through auto car washes in the winter. I've decided I don't want to go through that hassle again with this car.

That being said, since you are in Florida, I don't think snow and salt will be a concern to you lol!

My friend has a grey e90 with the roof wrapped gloss black with the fin left grey , doesnt look cheap at all, looks good

Alamat · 02-25-2014, 05:58 PM

Would this be cheaper to do that actually getting it painted gloss black? With the latter, one wouldn't have to worry about washes and stuff.

crono06 · 02-25-2014, 06:55 PM

Here in Canada it's pretty cheap. I think it was around 250 for my hatchback Mazda3 (a little bit more than a sedan since the roof is slightly longer). The benefit I saw in this was that I could rip it off before selling/trading in the car. That said, the dealer requested I leave the wrap on the car because they said they would leave it up to the potential buyers to choose whether they wanted it removed.

Looks really good, but why did you not do the roof rails?

steveMizdaman · 02-27-2014, 11:38 PM

Wow that flows amazing with your car. Good call

When they do these wraps, can you see the edges or do they tuck the edges to the point you cannot see them? Like when you open your sun roof, how does it look? Can you post a picture of that? A close up so I can see how it is finished.
