C300 Vinyl Roof Wrap

I own a 2015 C300 that's pretty bare-bones stock. One of the things I miss from my previous car was the sunroof (not because I ever used the sunroof, but because I missed the black contrast.

So, I decided to wrap the top of the roof in black vinyl to give the car some contrast and key-down the excessive chrome grandma look. I have never wrapped a car before but it was pretty easy. I just removed the plastic roof rails, tore off the backing and then used patience and heat to move it the way I wanted. It's crazy malleable and forgiving so it was a piece of cake. Only took about 2 hours and I'm really happy with the way it turned out. The 3M 1080 vinyl only cost $50, so it was a fast, cheap, weekend project.

A must do for any non-sun-roofer. LOL.

Good job. I also recently took to Amazon because my vinyl guy was very very busy. $50 worth of tools and 3m and a little bit of patience is all it takes.

I actually didn't order the sunroof because I dislike the way it looks.

That and the extra weight it adds was a huge turn off. Coming from Audi where it's not an option to do without - I was pleased.

Looks great. Did you remove the antenna or wrap over it? I'm planning on doing the same. Thanks.

There's no roof antenna (at least not on models with the pano roof), it's in the driver's outside mirror housing.

The wrapped roof does look good though!
