From what I can see, it looks good. Is it matte or glossy? Waiting on some better pics. I love the white/black combo.

yeah dan is coo...he can carbon fiber wrap all my interior trim pieces for 350 bux... still thinking about it....i think it would look pretty sick....

yeah i saw ur clk on the website...its tough to get the vinyl to become flush with the edges...because it requires 3 separate pieces because of the roof rack railing on the sides of the roof...

We did mine in one piece since I don't use the roof racks. The hard part on mine is around the sunroof. I actually need him to fix a small part on it.

No sanding. If you don't like it you just peel it off. I have used it a few times already.

Thants a fantastic idea, the thin coating wont effect the reception at all either.

Yeah the space in-between the rails and the main part of the roof doesn't sit all the way down but it's not too bad at all. Mines held up pretty good. I would think yours would look a little cleaner than mine though because mine would be a little more obvious that it's vinyl
