Don Nguyen | **Vinyl Roof Wrapping Services + Stickers/Graphics and more!**

As a new vendor on the forum, I am offering a special promotional deal for the first couple of Benzs who are interested in getting their roof's wrapped with some gloss/matte black or carbon fiber vinyl. (Shoot me a PM for details on pricing, as pricing is different depending on finish, specific car, etc).

I've done hundreds of cars at this point. Here are just one or two quick pictures of cars that I've done recently in each type/finish, just to give you guys an idea of how it looks like and the quality of my work:

Gloss black -

Matte black (looks like the same car, but it's actually a different one) -

Click the image to open in full size.

Click the image to open in full size.

3M Di-Noc Carbon Fiber -

Click the image to open in full size.

Click the image to open in full size.

For locals, I can supply the materials and do the entire installation at my location, for anything that you need to get done.

However, if you're a non-local (or someone who just wants/needs some material) and would like to give a DIY a shot, I can sell you just the material as well.

- Gloss/matte black roof vinyl (other finishes/colors are available upon request)
- Carbon fiber vinyl
- Black out window trim vinyl
- Interior/exterior trim
- Headlight/Tail light tinting
- Custom cut stickers/graphics
- Full car wraps
- Installations
- And More...

Let me know if you guys have any questions or if you are interested in anything.

thanks.

-Don

It'd be pretty expensive to do matte pearl. I'd have to get a matte laminate to go on top of the already glossy pearl regular vinyl finish. If you wanted a matte white, I actually already have that on hand as well

Was going to use it for my own car, but not until I have more time.

Let me know if you're interested. Shoot me a PM.

Gloss black (Don't mind the blue tape, he just recently had those pieces painted and he had to take a road trip to get to where I was to get vinyl work done):

How about a full s2k wrapped in the 3M CF material?

Tested the curves etc a bit with some matte black first. Just did the one driver side fender and hood:

Once I got a feel for it, I went ahead and did the full CF treatment on the car. Probably one of the first cars on the east coast to have this fully done (this car was done a long time ago, but the owner's been constantly building it, so it hasn't even seen the roads yet after being fully wrapped):

So what do you guys think? Who will you be bringing your cars to get wrapped now

What would you charge to wrap all of my interior wood pieces (center console and door trims) in the carbon fiber wrap??
Thanks
Nick

Some pictures on a 997 GT3 that I wrapped the 3M Di-Noc CF with, on the roof and spoiler element. Let me tell you, it looked hot! Haha. The car was less than 24 hours old, off of the dealership lot.

I can wrap it, but the painting part is on the body shop, if they're able to do that or not.

You want to give it a shot?

Let me know.

So many white cars, but I don't blame them, the black roofs do look best on white colored cars:

Some before and after pictures. This is the first time I've taken pictures before applying the vinyl roof, so it'll give you guys somewhat of an idea of how it looks like.

Here's pictures of an E46 that I did the window trim in matte black, tinted the red portions of the tail lights, and did gloss black on the roof and his roof spoiler:

Not a Mercedes or even a Euro car, but I am curious to if any of you guys would ever consider doing a matte finish on your car. Just interested in hearing/seeing some opinions on this from benz owners, since it seems more of a Subaru thing:

Installed gloss black vinyl on the window trim of this E46 M3 and tinted his tail lights.

I probably should have done a better job of cleaning the window trim before taking the pictures. There's palm/finger prints from me installing all over it, haha.

don im very interested in a matte black cover for an sl500 that has no roof rails...i live in nyc and actually had an idea to do this previously but was told that its impossible due to the lack of roof rails...how much would it cost and how difficult would it be for another shop to do the job

also what does everyone think about the look?
my grill along with side vents and gills is also going to be matte
the back bumper is matte around the line next to the exhaust
and the back lights are black as well

Whoever told you they couldn't do it is because they're amateurs, imo. Show them the picture of the SL I did in the earlier posts, and ask them how I was able to do the impossible. SLs are not too hard to do.

If any socal guys are interested in getting their SL's roofs wrapped, I can do it for you guys for a very good price. That's how easy they are for me to do.

Do you guys have any specific or general questions about anything? Or if you guys want me to take pictures of the cars that I do at certain angles or specific places/parts, let me know.
