Roof wrap thoughts?

MyKindaGuise · 01-07-2013, 01:00 PM

I would do that but I want to practice on then whole fang vent not just a section of it.

Check out my pics. I wrapped the roof black and then wrapped again with clear 3m to protect it.

VDC_OFF · 01-08-2013, 09:59 AM

the only ones I have seen that look good are glossy black with dark tint on the windows. This makes the roof look like its also made of glass. Dont think flat black will look good.

Also on the 3M cabon fiber. I wrapped my a-pillar in this back in april '12, it held up great no peeling and no fading until i tried to add some shine to it by using products for car shows. Now there is this white cake on it that only goes away when I add more shine. Becareful if you do this and dont use any products on it. Me, I plan on removing the 3m and get a seibon a-pillars with a real carbon roof cover next.

you'll want to use products like Prima Hydro (polymer sealant) or Griot's SprayOn Wax (natural wax) on the dinoc.

no residue.

3M makes a satin black vinyl. It between matte and gloss. A lot easier to maintain for scratches and clouding due to the elements than gloss

I've sold quite a few sets of my fang and rear valence overlays in cf finish

. Email me if interested.

I like the matte black, I don't see how the gloss roof even matters.

IMO,carbon fiber look-a-like vinyl,no matter the brand,will make your car look cheap.
If budget is not a factor,save up for a CF roof cover.Also,do matching CF parts
on your Z.I've no interest in doing my roof,but I've done other parts like B-pillar and mirror base covers( from ZCF).Really make the 370 look updated.

So... old thread... anyhow, saw a pearl white Z yesterday in Pasadena FL with what looked like a red roof (either painted or wrapped). The red seemed to match the sport caliper color. Is this anyone's Z on this forum, or has anyone seen this done before? Unfortunately I didn't get to see much of it as it was in the opposing lane, so just a quick glance. Looked interesting.
