Roof overlay and mirror overlays on SIMOTA1s z :D

simota1 · 01-20-2010, 04:32 PM

hey everyone... so i finally decided to do the overlay.... here are some pics...

i needa clean my car.... its dirty.. lol it even rained...

the roof

my side mirrors...

overall... i spent about 25 dollars for the vinyl... i bought a 4x4 sheet from a local sticker store... i wrapped the roof and my side mirrors myself... it took a really really long time for the roof.... it took me about 4-5 hours working on it... heating and shrinking... then stretchen the vinyl to make it wrap... i also had a friend help me... it is sooo difficult to pull the vinyl and hold the heat gun while trying to squeegee out the wrinkles...

the side mirrors although had major curves only took me about an hour per side.... the outcome i think is great

tell me wat u guys think?

it was self.... most of the shops out here dont even wanna deal with wrapping cars.... idk why though... i was willing to pay my vinyl guy up to 150 for installing it.... but he didnt want... so i just did it myself... and it was free....
