Default wrapped my roof... pics

we do vehicle wraps so i decided to just print off a big *** chunk of black on some 3M control tac vinyl and wrap my roof to go with the CF...

not the first to have a black roof by any means, just thought it turned out well...

sharing the pics:

Looks pretty good and the cool thing is if you don't like it you just take it off.

won't it ruin your paint if you try to take it off? also won't it get all ugly when it gets rained on?

you guys would be surprised if you ever priced doing digital wraps at a sign shop... price to wrap is just about the same as bodyshop prices to paint a full car ($2,500 - $4,000 for a sport compact size)
but yeah... its ghetto fab for me in the way it was free

the price i was saying was for the whole car to be wrapped, comparing it to the price of having the whole car painted.

$125 is about right for the roof...

digital prints run about $14.00 a square foot laminated. for install it runs $55 an hour
