BTW, I contacted those guys about custom making a larger piece of cf vinyl to fit the roofs without overlap and they said they can't do it.

ive always thought about doing this, but could never find a big enough piece of vinyl.
A buddy of mine opened an autowrap shop and is letting me experiment on some pieces at his cost. This stuff is a little different then regular vinyl and has like a micro webbing to release gases and air bubbles which regular vinyl would have trouble with on such a large surface area. Unfortunately, you can see this micro texture up close. But it's the only way I have found to offer a single piece large enough to cover. It comes in 4'6" rolls.

Thanks Frank, I'm with you on some better quality products on the market, but like Blake said, I couldn't find any for this particular size application.
