roof Vinyl
Hello Guys/Gals,
I been wanting to black out my Z's Roof with the black vinyl. I have some questions that I hope you guys can answer. Where did you get the Black vinyl, did it come precut or did you have to cut it? If you did the instal was it easy or was it hard. I could not find a DIY for this on the site. I live in El Paso, Texas Very hot summers and somewhat cold winters How long will this actually last. Will it fade and if you have the vinyl wrap on your Z has it faded or does it still look new? I do garage my car but not at work it sits outside in the sun all day long. One last thing if I decide to take it off in the future will it peel/strip off the clear coat, or paint.

i think bats can get you either the matte or glossy black cut to a general size. you will need to trim it and tuck it into the seams.
ive done dinoc, it's not hard to do if you know wat you're doing. for standard vinyl it will be more like a clearbra/tint wet install. no idea on durability. i would assume 4-5yrs with wax/sealant on the surface. usually when you peel back after 4-5 yrs, the whole roof comes off. |

im just joking about the last line. you can heat it up nice (just leave it out in the sun) and just peel it back. then 3M adhesive remover to remove the rest of the adhesive goo.
another quick way is if you have twinturbo, you can just floor it and that usually rips it right off the roof. |

Sorry it's not much of a DIY lol. Just letting the op know that it's not as easy as it looks and hoping he knows that it may or may not go well.
Of course you can always photoshop black roof on the op's car kenchan
