you will need ample experience to get all of the air bubbles out of the sticker. its not as straitt forward as it seems. and without enough help, it will be crazy hard.

if you are dead set on doing it I would find a shop that does that kind of work and offers a warranty on it

try a vinyl shop, like one that does sticker lettering on anything really. they would be more than glad to apply it and have no problem with the technical difficulty of it being one big **** sticker.

the 3M Di-NOC is some quality vinyl. It really looks like CF. But because of the matte finish people will know. Slap some clear over it and you are good to go. But just like the others have said, unless you know how to wrap vinyl, PAY someone that knows what they're doing to install it.

of the Di-NOC is good enough for the M3, its good enough for a Honda.

i've seen it done somewhere, i think it was here on ht.. would be a bitch to diy, i'd definitely have a shop do it with a warranty if possible

Wouldnt you want to spray something over the top like a clear so one corner wouldnt peel and the whole thing come off in time. That would def be interesting to see.

I was looking at the carbon roof mold for a while but that is spendy and for what....alll looks.

Def subscribed.
