i am looking to wrap my roof on my z. the only part i am kinda confused on is the shark fin on top. for those of you that have wrapped your roof, how have u gotten around this when wrapping? my guess is just start at one end, and work towards the shark fin, then cut an "X" slit, let it poke thru, continue to lay the rest, then come back and trim?

yah, just make sure you tuck it under the antenna if you can.

Planning on doing it yourself or having it done professionally?

I wouldn't try a DIY on the fangs if its your first time.. The curves are pretty hard and you don't want to ruin a perfectly good vinyl.

Roof is a lot easier, i'd start with that.

the best way to do it is to remove the antenna (fin). Careful while you do that though you don't want to snap a wire or break it. It'll look much better if you wrap them separately.
