yep, i'll post them up later. i cut the general shape first, peeled back the liner half way and cut the liner off. wrapped from the center of the roof outwards to about 12-13mm from the edges using no heat.

then took my scissors and cut so that i would have about a 7mm overlap, used my heat gun and squeegee to push the film into the nooks to wrap. i pulled up on the Z's roof side pieces (the a-pillar cover) and tucked the film under without removing the a-pillars. then did the other side. i might even suggest spraying a mist of distilled water on the center of the roof at the very beginning so that the adhesion is not super strong while you get the film to center up.

at the very end i took my heat gun and went over the entire film. the work itself was pretty damn good, i must say. but it just made the car look like it had faux canvas for a roadster...

i did it with no help.
