Any tips on removing the fin? Seems to be harder to remove than on the E series cars.

Don't remove it, I've heard about leaks and all. It can be wrapped without removing. Or just get a CF cover for it from eBay.

I'm currently starting a wrapping business with a couple friends. In short, no. The roof isn't terrible hard just because it's one flat piece of metal but you need tools and a heat gun and it's more than just the cost of the wrap. I'd say look up some YouTube videos on how to wrap you'll pic it up quickly. The best part about vinyl wrap is if you lay it wrong you just peel it back and try again.

It was a complete PAIN to remove. Afterwards I had to use a gasket maker to reset it on the roof. All in all it was an awful experience however it's kinda necessary if you want the roof wrap to look good

The guy who wrapped mine didn't remove the fin and it still looks perfect. There's a faint crease at the back only visible up close and nobody gets that close, it also blends in well.

I went gloss black, not so much because cf would look fake, but rather because I felt like I'd have to match the rest of my accessories and gloss black would be easier. Also, I didn't have them wrap the roof molding because my guys told me it wouldn't come out clean and would eventually start peeling. I'm going to swap for black molding.

I just did CF for my interior lol, not a wrap tho, actual CF panels

you’ll get a faster and probably better answer in the UK sub forum.
