Oh wow! That looks badass! I'll have to buy one for my cousin's C class. Hey, what part of town are you in, Dark Side? I wanna take a look at your ride in person.

did you have to remove any of the black plastic stripping that runs down the top of the car, and did you remove the killer whale antenna?

I have to say that turned out great, looks like a professional install! So let me get this straight, you have never done this before right?
Did you have any problems with bubbles during the install? Once you started to apply it, was it easy enough to peel back if you needed to readjust?
Nice job, $69 well spent.

excellent work!
Looks sharp, but I'd prefer a gloss finish so that it blends into the windshield and sunroof.
It's definitely a huge bang for your buck and best of all you could remove if you don't like it or starts to wear. I assume installation is similar to a clear bra which is fairly easy.

Down the road, perhaps, when I get bored of Arctic White.

Hey Darkside, I just received my kit and I noticed there seems to be quite a bit of trimming. Do you happen to have any pictures with the sunroof open showing the vinyl wrapped around the sunroof cutout? Also, do you have close-up pictures of the vinyl near the border of the roof rails?
It says to tuck it under the rubber weather stripping...but the rubber is only 2-3mm wide, so it seems like this would be difficult to tuck underneath?
Also, at the rear, how were you able to wrap it down into the crevice where the roof meets the glass?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
